Kettle Whistle

Jane's Addiction Kettle Whistle Lyrics
1.Ain't No Right

I am skin and bones, i am pointy nose;
But it motherfuckin' makes me try.
Makes me try, and that ain't no wrong.
I'll tell you why...
There ain't no right!

Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right.
Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right.
Only pleasure and pain.

Motherfuckin' bad wind came, blew down my home.
Now the green grass grows.
Bad wind came, blew down my home.
Goddamn goodness knows!
Where green grass grows there can't be wrong.
And goodness knows, there ain't no right!

Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right.
Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right.
Only pleasure and pain.

Bumped my head, i'm a battering ram.
Goddamn took the pain.
Cut myself, said so what?
Motherfuckin' took the pain.
Said so what? i can't be wrong.
I thought so but there ain't no right!

Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right.
Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right.
Only pleasure and pain.


2.Been Caught Stealing

I've been caught stealing;
Once when i was 5...
I enjoy stealing.
It's just as simple as that.
Well, it's just a simple fact.
When i want something,
I don't want to pay for it.

I walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey all right! if i get by, it's mine.
Mine all mine!

My girl, she's one too.
She'll go and get her a shirt.
Stick it under her skirt.
She grabbed a razor for me.
And she did it just like that.
When she wants something,
She don't want to pay for it.

She walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey all right! if i get by, it's mine.
Mine all mine!

We sat around the pile.
We sat and laughed.
We sat and laughed and
Waved it into the air!
And we did it just like that.
When we want something,
We don't want to pay for it.

We walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey, all right! if i get by, it's mine,
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine...


3.City

In the city there is something to see
In the city there is nothing to breathe
I'm goin' 'bout my business
I'm wondering what i'm missing

And on my way home, i hid in my coat
Wrote my name on the city wall
Being famous

In the city there is a park bench you can sleep out on
The city there is a trash can you can eat out of
I'm goin' 'bout my business
Wondering what i'm missing

And on my way home a cop said 'no'
I said, 'there is a man with a stick and a gun in his hand'
Being famous

Red man in the city
Poor man in the city
Black man in the city
Fat man in the city

Red man, black man
Fat man, blue man
I don't know the rest of the words
'cause i made it up just for you


4.Had A Dad

Had a dad
Big and strong
Turned around
Found my daddy gone
He was the one
Made me what i am today
It's up to me now
My daddy has gone away...

Well i spoke to the mountain
I listened to the sea
Both told me that the fountain
Was the best that you could be
My daddy's hand it growed
Show to the lickin
Sonny boy
Grow to whip him!

If you see my dad
Tell him my brothers
All gone mad
They're beating on each other
I walked around
Even tried to call
Got that funny feeling

He's not there
At all...


5.Jane Says

Jane says
I'm done with sergio
He treats me like a ragdoll
She hides
The television
Says i don't owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me
Or just
Try again tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow

Jane says
Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it
She knows
They all want her to go
But thats o.k.
She dont like them anyway
Jane says
She's goin away to spain
When she gets my money saved
She's gonna start tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow

She gets mad
Starts to cry
She takes a swing but
She cant hit
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know
What else to do about it

Jane goes
To the store at 8:00
She walk up on st. andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket
Jane says
She's never been in love
No, she don't know what it is
Only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
I only know they want me

She gets mad
And she starts to cry
She takes a swing man
She cant hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just dont know
What else to do about it

Jane says
Jane says


6.Kettle Whistle

What makes a kettle whistle?
What makes gold precious?
How come some people,
They'll show you everything?
How come some people,
They don't like nothing at all?

Well i know why...
We all want to be...
Beautiful too...
Beautiful too...

What makes a baby cry?
What makes a poor baby
Older than a rich one?
And why do we need to belong,
To someone else?

Well i know why...
We all want to be...
Beautiful too...
Beautiful too...


7.Mountain Song

Comin' down the mountain
One of many children
Everybody has
Their own opinion
Everybody has
Their own opinion
Holding it back
Hurts so bad
Jumping out of my flesh
And i said

Cash in!
Cash in now honey
Cash in now
Cash in now
Cash in now honey
Cash in miss smith
Cash in now!

I was comin down the mountain
Met a child she had pin eyes
We had the same opinion
Had the same opinion
She was holding it back
It hurts do bad
Jumping out of her flesh
And i said

Cash in!
Cash in now honey
Cash in now
Cash in now
Cash in now honey
Cash in miss smith
Cash in now!


8.My Cat's Name Is Maceo

My cat's name is maceo,
He's a little man in a cat's body
He yawns just like i do,
He's convinced i won't eat him

I think he thinks i'm his dad,
Becasue i saved him from the pound
Well we went down, down to the pound
And that's where we saw maceo

Cat catcher said to me, 'pick one out,'
Maceo said 'let me out'
He sleeps right where i do
And we wrestle in the morning!

He come to you if you don't bother him
He just likes to do his own thing
My cat's name is maceo,
He's a little man in a cat's body


9.Ocean Size

Wish i was ocean size
They cannot move you
No one tries
No one pulls you
Out from your hole
Like a tooth aching a jawbone...

I was made with a heart of stone
To be broken
With one hard blow
I've seen the ocean
Break on the shore
Come together with no harm done...

It ain't easy living...

I want to be
As deep
As the ocean
Mother ocean

Some people tell me
Home is in the sky
In the sky lives a spy
I want to be more like the ocean
No talking
All action...
No talking
All action...


10.Slow Divers

She said, 'do you think you could?'
And i said, 'yeah, in a second...'

I'm sitting by a waterfall
And when people jump in
They hold their nose
And kiss these walls
Granite walls,
Water-polished walls

Just don't ever want to move from this spot
You can sit here for so long!
There's a slide, suislide,
You can live or die
Going down, going down, go down!

Boy came to the slide
I said, 'you want to go down that slide?'
He said, 'no man,'
'hey you got a joint to sell me?'
We just smoked one,
We got a roach we said...
'i'll smoke the roach!'
But first go down that slide man
Go on down, go on down, go on down!

I'm sitting by a waterfall...
Could bear to watch the people
Slip and fall
You know the plants on the rocks are crazy
Thinking that they could start a life
On the spiral walls of a waterfall!

Slow divers?
Their view is spectacular!


11.So What!

Man ain't meant to work
C'mon build a machine!
So we can sleep and make love deeper
Later we can dance and we can drink!

Man ain't meant to work
C'mon build a machine!
So we can live for our own pleasure
Please yourself! please your queens!

Early morning the sun is yawning
I am not kind yet
I am certain, i have no doubt
Life is for playing

Days like these
I hardly disagree

So what! that's my conclusion
I think i'm gonna dig myself now


12.Stop

Save the complaints
For a party conversation.
The world is loaded,
It's lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop...

No one...
No one!
No way!
Gonna stop,
Now; go!

Farm people,
Book wavers, soul savers,
Love preachers!
Lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop.

No one...

One come a day, the water will run,
No man will stand for things that he had done...
Hurrah!
And the water will run...
One come a day, the water will run,
No man will stand for things that he had done...
Hurrah!
And the water will run...
Will run!
Will run!

Gimmie that!
Gimmie that - your automobile,
Turn off that smokestack
And that goddamn radio
Hum... along with me...
Hum along with the t.v.

No one's
Gonna
Stop!


13.Three Days

Three days was the morning.
My focus three days old.
My head, it landed
To the sounds of cricket bows...

I am proud man anyway...
Covered now by three days...

Three ways was the morning.
Three lovers, in three ways.
We knew when she landed,
Three days she'd stay.

I am a proud man anyway...
Covered now by three days...

We saw shadows of the morning light
The shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one.

Shadows of the morning light
The shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one...

True hunting is over.
No herds to follow.
Without game, men prey on each other.
The family weakens by the bite we swallow...

True leaders gone,
Of land and people.
We choose no kin but adopted strangers.
The family weakens by the length we travel...

All of us with wings...
All of us with wings...
All of us with wings!
All of us with wings!
All of us with wings!
All of us with wings!

Erotic jesus lays with his marys.
Loves his marys.
Bits of puzzle,
Fitting each other.

All now with wings!

Oh my marys!
Never wonder...
Night is shelter
For nudity's shiver...

All now with wings...


14.Up The Beach

Here we go now
Home...
Home...
Home...


15.Whores

Way down low where the streets are littered
I find my fun with the freaks and the niggers
I dont want much man give me a little
Or im gonna take my chances if i get 'em

I love them whores they never judge you
What can you say when your a whore?
They cast that pearl and it don't upset 'em
They take their chances if they get 'em

Need a little more

Give me some more!
