about

this track was inspired walking down flinders st, Melbourne as an 18 year old girl. Everyone was wearing navy, black and brown. and so were their umbrellas. It was raining. I couldn't help it, so I bought myself a giant rainbow coloured umbrella and headed toward the train station. I saw a young couple huddled behind one of the brick pillars hiding from the rain. They called out to me " We love your Umbrella"... made my day.

lyrics

V1
Blue and grey cobble stones, puddles all around
Well the sky is my demise cos on this day I wanted to go to town
But today it’s cold and public transport just bought me
Cos I sold my soul to the clouds, when mr cumulo and mrs nimbus crossed paths

Prechorus
Well it’s time’s like these that I must say
I must remind my mental state when I can smell rain

chorus
Well you can hide under your umbrella’s, yes you can hidey hidey hidey hidey hide under umbrella’s
And you can get above the rain

V2
Wet and dreary, drab defeats the weary, I educate my self to the rhythms
Of the pitter patter sounds, turns my frown oh upside down
But sadly blue skies become my prize If I can but retain myself
From getting any further than this six feet down

Prechorus

Chorus

bridge
So I caught the train to the souvenir store to fetch some shiftable shelter
But they only had black and I wanted some colour to adore, so I walked and walked
And walked and walked till my socks were drenched singing “un arc iris por favor”
Oh how I want spread some colour round this miserable cold

Prechorus

Chorus
