"Umbrella" Lyrics
I don't need your umbrellaThat's okay, I like the rain
Let the sky fall on me
While everyone else complains
I learned a lot from Gene Kelly
When it pours, it makes me sing
With the clouds above me
Covering everything
Not long ago I misjudged it
I thought only smiles would do
Now I see I need
The tears and frowns too
Slowly drenched in drizzle
No rubber boots, no parasol
It's not a rollercoaster
Without the rise and fall
I'm riding it out
Riding it out
Riding it out
I'll hold my ground
I'm riding it out
Staring it down
Holding my ground
I'll ride it out
I feel my roots digging in to the soil
Yeah it's feeding me
I feel the truth is a friend of the toil
Now it's leading me
I'll dance around the lamppost
With my ghosts, I'll take them on
The streets return an echo
The crowds have all gone
Snuggled deep in their snail shells
Just as well, it's alright to hide
As for me, I need to
Breathe the air outside
I'm riding it out
Riding it out
Riding it out
I'll hold my ground
I'm riding it out
Staring it down
Holding my ground
I'll ride it out
I feel my roots digging in to the soil
Yeah it's feeding me
I feel the truth is a friend of the toil
Now it's leading me
Thunder's only a whisper
Sometimes grief can look like fear
No storm can last forever
The sky was born clear
I don't need your umbrella
That's okay, I like the rain
Let the sky fall on me
Bio
With an incredible debut album under their belts, as well as a pop culture mini-explosion caused by their first video, “Sweep the Leg”, No More Kings are on their way to becoming your newest favorite band. Their music is somewhere between Sufjan Stevens and "The Muppet Show", and it’s always entertaining.Front man Pete Mitchell calls No More Kings’ first album a “thank-you letter to the 80’s,” a perfect theme for someone who claims that he (and his music) were “born in the 70’s, raised in the 80’s, and perfected in the 90’s.”
