1,000 Umbrellas Songtext
von The Format

1000 umbrellas, a tongue
Couldn′t catch all the rain
That drained out of my head
When you said we were over, over

I cried 'til I floated downstream
To a town they call misery
Uh, huh, misery
Misery, uh, huh, misery

And one-mission 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, uh, huh, 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 vista was golden in hue
1000 umbrellas opened
To spoil the view

And one million salt seas
Recalled from school atlas
So eyes could 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
Uh, huh, misery, misery, uh, huh, misery

So with the mop and the bucket
I′ll just say forget her and carry on
Sweeping up where I'd been weeping

The jester′s now creeping to strike down
The newly crowned monarch of
Misery, uh, huh, 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
1000 umbrellas open
2000 umbrellas open
10000 umbrellas open to spoil the view
