Five Iron Frenzy es una banda procedente de Denver, Colorado (EEUU) que técnicamente se engloba en el género musical Ska de la tercera oleada (mediados de los 90). No obstante una da las características de esta peculiar banda es su tendencia a experimentar/mezclar diversos estilos con resultados asombrosos: ska tradicional, reggae, rock and roll, hardcore/punk, trash/metal, pachanga, rap.. un poco de todo. Dos son los rasgos que caracterizan a FIF:

This song starts with a horn intro, and then goes into a verse thats mostly bass with the guitar playing "ska chords" (I think thats what they're called) in the backround. Dont play power chords till the pre chorus, and chorus.

-Pre Chorus 1- BAED He is young so full of hope BAED Reveling in tiny dreams BAED Filling up his arms with flowers BE Right for giving any queen
-Verse 2- Running to her beaming bright While cradeling his prize A flickering of yellow light Within his mothers eyes
-Pre Chorus 2- She holds them to her heart Keeping them where they'll be safe Clasped within her very marrow Dandelions in a vase
-Chorus- AEBD She sees love where ABDE Anyone else would see weeds AEBD All hope is found ABDE Here is everything he needs
-Verse 3- Fathomless your endless mercy Weight I could not lift Where do I fit in this puzzle What good are these gifts

I know that the end of the bridge doesn't totally sound right, but if you figure something better out email me. Also if anybody knows what the real name for "ska chords" are, or a good place to buy FIF merchandise email me.
