Five Iron Frenzy lyrics - The Untimely Death Of Brad


Title: The Untimely Death Of Brad
Artist: Five Iron Frenzy
Album: Quantity Is Job 1
Year: 1998
Submitted by: Marianne ARMI


Here is the tale, it*s spoken word-for-word,
it may be abominable, but, yes it must be heard.
Nauseating at first, you can expect the worst,
so listen closely, as the plot unfolds...

I might stretch the truth, may be a little lie,
there was a boy named Brad,
he played trumpet, and he died.
Too young for him to cease,
Why? We haven*t got a clue,
It*s on the internet, so then it must be true.

The untimely death of Brad,
how sad it must have been.
If you see him anywhere,
remember to console him.

I curse the day, I ever met the boy,
Only the good die young, they say.
The details of his death are vague
unbelievable it seems, as if his passing was only a dream.
Catastrophe, calamity, what will we tell his mother now?
Cataclysmic, a tragic mishap,
I just heard that their band is breaking up.
I hear his trumpet, his voice rings in my ears,
it sometimes seems he*s standing very near.
I don*t believe in ghosts,
I*ve never seen one,
but isn*t the trumpet playing haunting on this album?

A day that lives in infamy,
in horror we behold, his passing,
his memory, but the truth must be told.
