1000 Umbrellas Songtext
von Andy Partridge

One thousand umbrellas
Upturned couldn′t catch all the rain
That spilled 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 feared couldn′t hold all the wet
That fell out of my eyes
When you ran out on 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 sky was a summery blue
One thousand umbrellas all 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
