Failure's Not Flattering Lyrics
Can't you see it
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will
Cause you could like what you find
A sure shot hit
With your name attached to it
Will you keep me in mind
Or leave the last mark
But I will leave a lasting impression
You believe what you want
And you said what's been said
And I do hope you learn a lesson
Can't you see it
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will
Cause it could be on the tip of your tounge
You're holding back
Like there's nothing left to it
Could this be a false alarm
Or leave the last mark
But I will leave a lasting impression
You believe what you want
And you said what's been said
And I do hope you learn a lesson
Can't you see it
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will
Failure's not flattering
When will you show yourself
When will you show yourself
Ah, do hope you learn a lesson
Ah, You'll never learn your lesson
Can't you see it
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will
1st, the line "obey the first mother" is actually "or leave the last mark" but any way, the beginning sounds like ANDREW W.K....
I think this song is about someone who keeps failing and letting people down. Eveyone expects this person to mess and they do. The singer though knows the person and believes the person can do better despite what everyone else thinks. On a side note I am not a huge fan of NFG but I love reggie and the full effect and james dewees plays keyboards on this song, he is awesome.
My Fave on the new album , yeah James Dewees does a great job with the keyboard. Brianta hit it on the nose of what i thing this song means to me gj Brianta...

Not a big fan of the new album as i think it sucks....but this is a really good song bring back the old sound guys thats why so many people loved you.
I think this song is the best on the album by far. I also think its great they are branching out a little bit and trying new things. Thats why they named the album Catalyst...it is something that brings about change. This album has potential to be huge for them.
SO 80's
reggie and the full effect! fuck yeah!
this is definitely in the top three on my favorites of the album.
def. one of my favs on the new album.. its a little differnt but it grows on you after a while.. good stuff
yeah, I dig the whole electrical lights parade thing going on in this song
by the way, I'm pretty sure it's "I won't cast the first stone, or leave the first mark, but I will leave a lasting impression"
