Lyrics

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
