I Don't Like Mondays - Umbrella - Lyrics

song (spotify) Japanese/Romaji/English lyrics under the cut

It’s like a fairy tale 二人で 歩んだ日々を Celebrate 君の声で目覚めて　朝のキスで I just can’t stay away その瞳見つめると 胸の奥に隠した痛みも 嘘みたいに姿を消すんだ

掌には君がくれたものが あるから　そう明日も生きていける

Listen to my soul どしゃ降りの雨が降って 動けなくなっても Listen to my soul 僕が君の傘となって I’ll make you feel alright 何も迷うことはない 疲れたら I’ll hold you tight Listen to my soul この先も手を取り合って 響かせるハーモニー Can you feel it now?

Together you & I 二人で 沈んだ日々を Levitate 意味なんてない景色に 意味をつけた You are my reason 君が横で笑うと 皮肉で溢れていた世界も 優しさ身に纏っていくんだ

Listen to my soul どしゃ降りの雨が降って 動けなくなっても Listen to my soul 僕が君の傘となって I’ll make you feel alright 何も迷うことはない 疲れたら I’ll hold you tight Listen to my soul この先も手を取り合って 響かせるハーモニー Can you feel it now?

やがて雨上がったら探しにいこう この空の何処かにかかる虹を

Listen to my soul どしゃ降りの雨が降って 動けなくなっても Listen to my soul 僕が君の傘となって I’ll make you feel alright 何も迷うことはない 疲れたら I’ll hold you tight Listen to my soul この先も手を取り合って 響かせるハーモニー Can you feel it now?

It’s like a fairy tale; I wanna celebrate the days we’ve faced together Waking up to the sound of your voice and a good morning kiss, I just can’t stay away When I gaze into your eyes, the pain I held deep inside my heart seems to disappear just like that

In my hand I still hold what you gave me, and with it I know I can face tomorrow

Listen to my soul Even if it starts pouring rain and you have nowhere to go, Listen to my soul I’ll be your umbrella and I’ll make you feel alright There’s nothing to be worried about When you’re tired, I’ll hold you tight Listen to my soul I’ll take your hand again, creating a resounding harmony Can you feel it now?

Together you & I, the two of us make our past days levitate * This scenery had no meaning to it until I gave it one; you are my reason When you laugh while you’re by my side, even this world that’s full of cynicism seems to become wrapped in kindness

Listen to my soul Even if it starts pouring rain and you have nowhere to go, Listen to my soul I’ll be your umbrella and I’ll make you feel alright There’s nothing to be worried about When you’re tired, I’ll hold you tight Listen to my soul I’ll take your hand again, creating a resounding harmony Can you feel it now?

When the rain ends, let’s go look for the rainbow that spans some part of the sky

Listen to my soul Even if it starts pouring rain and you have nowhere to go, Listen to my soul I’ll be your umbrella and I’ll make you feel alright There’s nothing to be worried about When you’re tired, I’ll hold you tight Listen to my soul I’ll take your hand again, creating a resounding harmony Can you feel it now?

Lyrics:

The silicon chip inside her head

Gets switched to overload

And nobody's gonna go to school today

She's going to make them stay at home

And daddy doesn't understand it

He always said she was as good as gold

And he can see no reasons

'Cause there are no reasons

What reason do you need to be shown?

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays

I want to shoot

The whole day down

The telex machine is kept so clean

As it types to a waiting world

And mother feels so shocked

Father's world is rocked

And their thoughts turn to

Their own little girl

Sweet 16 ain't so peachy keen

No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat

They can see no reasons

'Cause there are no reasons

What reason do you need?

Shoot it all down

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays

I want to shoot

The whole day down, down, down

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now

She wants to play with her toys a while

And school's out early and soon we'll be learning

And the lesson today is how to die

And then the bullhorn crackles

And the captain tackles

With the problems and the how's and why's

And he can see no reasons

'Cause there are no reasons

What reason do you need to die, die?

And the silicon chip inside her head

Gets switched to overload

And nobody's gonna go to school today

She's going to make them stay at home

And daddy doesn't understand it

He always said she was as good as gold

And he can see no reasons

'Cause there are no reasons

What reason do you need to be shown?

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays

Tell me why?

I don't like, I don't like

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays

Songwriter:

Tell me why?

I don't like, I don't like

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays

I wanna shoot

The whole day down

Bob Geldof / John Peter Moylett
