Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 2]
The disappointed
All shuffle round in circles
Their placards look the same
With a picture and a name
Of the ones who broke their hearts
[Verse 3]
The disappointed
All congregate at my house
Their voices sob with grief
That they want me to be chief
Of the tribe with broken hearts
[Verse 4]
Once, I had no sympathy
For those destroyed and thrown away by love
Seems your ring upon my finger
Signifies that I've become the spokesman of
[Verse 5]
The disappointed
Will bear me on their shoulders
To a secret shadowland
Where a somber marching band
Plays a tune for broken hearts
[Verse 6]
And day grows darker now
Everywhere, everywhere
[Verse 7]
The disappointed
Are coming in their millions
They're spilling from the bus
At a monument to us
Made of bits of broken heart
[Verse 8]
Once, I had no sympathy
For those destroyed and thrown away by love
Seems your ring upon my finger
Signifies that I've become the spokesman of
[Verse 9]
The disappointed
Are growing every second
They blot the sun to black
At the bottom of the pack
I'm the king of broken hearts
[Verse 10]
(The disappointed)
The disappointed
(The disappointed)
The disappointed
(The disappointed)
The disappointed
(The disappointed)
The disappointed
