1000 Umbrellas (Remastered 2001)
One thousand umbrellas upturned
Couldn't catch all the rain that drained out of my head
When you said we were over, and over I cried
'Til I floated downstream to a town they call Misery, oh-oh, Misery
Misery, oh-oh, Misery
And one million teacups
I bet couldn't hold all the wet that fell out of my eyes
When you fell out with me, now I'm crawling the wallpaper
That's looking more like a road map to Misery, oh-oh, Misery
How can you smile and forecast weather's getting better?
And you'll soon forget her if you let the sunshine come through
How can you smile and forecast weather's getting better
If you never let a girl rain all over you?
And just when I thought that my vista was golden in hue
One thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view
One billion salt seas recalled from school atlas
Alas would be full to the brim
Sunny Jim couldn't jump it, how can I be pleased
When I'm handed the keys to a town they call Misery? Oh-oh, Misery
So with a mop and a bucket, I'll just say, "Forget her"
And carry on sweeping up where I've been weeping
The jesters will creep in to strike down
The newly crowned monarch of Misery, oh-oh, Misery
How can you smile and forecast weather's getting better?
And you'll soon forget her if you let the sunshine come through
How can you smile and forecast weather's getting better
If you never let a girl rain all over you?
And just when I thought that my skies were a June-July blue
One thousand umbrellas opened (oh!)
Two thousand umbrellas opened (oh!)
Ten thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view
Couldn't catch all the rain that drained out of my head
When you said we were over, and over I cried
'Til I floated downstream to a town they call Misery, oh-oh, Misery
Misery, oh-oh, Misery
And one million teacups
I bet couldn't hold all the wet that fell out of my eyes
When you fell out with me, now I'm crawling the wallpaper
That's looking more like a road map to Misery, oh-oh, Misery
How can you smile and forecast weather's getting better?
And you'll soon forget her if you let the sunshine come through
How can you smile and forecast weather's getting better
If you never let a girl rain all over you?
And just when I thought that my vista was golden in hue
One thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view
One billion salt seas recalled from school atlas
Alas would be full to the brim
Sunny Jim couldn't jump it, how can I be pleased
When I'm handed the keys to a town they call Misery? Oh-oh, Misery
So with a mop and a bucket, I'll just say, "Forget her"
And carry on sweeping up where I've been weeping
The jesters will creep in to strike down
The newly crowned monarch of Misery, oh-oh, Misery
How can you smile and forecast weather's getting better?
And you'll soon forget her if you let the sunshine come through
How can you smile and forecast weather's getting better
If you never let a girl rain all over you?
And just when I thought that my skies were a June-July blue
One thousand umbrellas opened (oh!)
Two thousand umbrellas opened (oh!)
Ten thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view
