1000 Umbrellas

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 roadmap 
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 million salt seas 
Recalled from school atlas 
Alas would be filled 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 
Just when I thought that my skies were a June July blue 
One thousand umbrellas opened 
Two thousand umbrellas opened 
Ten thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view
