The Aspidistra Flies Lyrics
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
All the rain on thames-side
Couldn't stop shining through
I dreamt of you last night
Lying next to me in blue
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
Run to the window and call out my name
We'll meet where the sun goes to hide from the rain
From the rain
From the rain
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
When everyone else is hiding
Rainy sundays drunk at two
You'll whisper sweet lies to me
And one of them will be true
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
The gloom of the city at evening is still
You whisper come to me
And I always will
Always will
Always will
All the rain in this town
And still the sky is blue
Saint james square is teeming with doves
And that's what set me free
Across the darkening city
To an attic room for two
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
I counted all the lights
They don't shine as bright
They don't pierce the night
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Couldn't hide my love for you
All the rain on thames-side
Couldn't stop shining through
Lying next to me in blue
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
We'll meet where the sun goes to hide from the rain
From the rain
From the rain
Couldn't hide my love for you
When everyone else is hiding
Rainy sundays drunk at two
And one of them will be true
Couldn't hide my love for you
You whisper come to me
And I always will
Always will
Always will
And still the sky is blue
Saint james square is teeming with doves
And that's what set me free
To an attic room for two
Couldn't hide my love for you
They don't shine as bright
They don't pierce the night
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do

This must be one of the ultimate love songs ever created.
This is the most amazing love song I have ever heard in my life.
sharply the menacing wind sweeps over the bending poplars, newly bare. a george orwell reference? keep the aspidistra flying!
amazing amazing amazing. favourite song right now.
is this a magnetic fields reference? http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=129145
sweet.
its very captivity very simplistic in telling the girl how he feels about her you are transported into his emotions for just 3-4 minutes
Every time I listen this song, I picture a school trip to London. I can't help, it feels very highschool to me! :) I adore this song!
I'm surprised theres not a single comment on this song! This song is simply uplifting.
The actual song meaning is rather apparent, so need for analysis, but I did like the verse "You'll whisper sweet lies to me And one of them will be true"
She would tell him many exaggerrated promises, expressions but in the end, when she tells him that she loves him, that would be the most truest "lie" she's come to say.
agreed with blissx. until i read/heard the lyrics, i didnt really like this song, but it really is adorable.:)
