No Picture Flash Average	#1 by Flash Jaxon at Aug 26, 1983 at 1:11 PM EST
	What a great early Soundgarden tune this was - Just looking at the lyrics, they seem pretty straight forward; and the "flower" the song speaks about seems to have a double meaning - About how this girl grew and blossomed into a young lady, and eventually wilted and died, but also referring to the flowers on her grave, obviously. I'm convinced Chris paid attention in English class - He also uses the homonyms "vein" and "vain" - Sort of interesting, for early Soundgarden.

No Picture bradley Wanna Be	#2 by bradley goodman at Sep 1, 1994 at 7:20 PM EST
	I heard this song on "A-Sides" and fell in love with it. When I purchased "Screaming Life/Fopp," I noticed something interesting. In the song "Hand of God" is an introduction speaking by some preacher, and his sermon ends with "it is a vain parade....it has no meaning." Probably was the inspiration for that line in "Flower."

No Picture Dr. Average	#3 by Dr. Funkinstein at Jun 28, 1997 at 9:01 PM EST
	It's about how fucked up girls are and how good it is the die lol. "In her uniform Studded brass and steel Kissing napkin lipstick stains And smearing sincerity" that is what leads me to believe this.
