Ben Folds Five(1994-2000) was a three-member band formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, who until their breakup in 2000 were a mainstay of piano rock. Much of their work was influenced by jazz, evident in frequent improv-styled passages through bridge and/or ending. The members of the band were: Ben Folds, the lead singer and pianist, who also wrote most of the songs; Robert Sledgeon bass and Darren Jesseeon drums. The group enjoyed the success of the single Brickin 1998, a ballad written by Folds (with a chorus by Jessee) about his high school girlfriend getting an abortion. This song has, to a large degree, misrepresented the band to fans who aren't familiar with their other work; "Brick" is a serious ballad, whereas most of their music is characterised by jazz inflections and witty, humorous lyrics.

Ben Folds Five
Oh no,love just leaves you bruised
If you want to know,you find something to lose
The world won't turn until something breaks
Who will make the first last mistake?
They say that good things come to those who wait
Into the spiral,your world and my world,it's never final
Love just leaves you bruised
I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy,smoke in your hair
I didn't know,I didn't care
But now I know
Love just leaves you bruised
Oh no,did love just leave you screwed?
You gotta go slow
Cos love just leaves you bruised
Into the spiral,your world and my world,it's never final
Love just leaves you bruised
I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy,smoke in your hair
I didn't know,I didn't care
But now I know
Love just leaves you bruised
And i've got the scars to prove it
I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy,smoke in your hair
Explain it to me again and again
Like I care
Love just leaves you..
The world won't turn until something breaks
Who will make the first last mistake?
Good things come to those who wait
Well I can't wait
I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy smoke in your hair
I didn't know,I didn't care
But now I know
