Kettle Whistle

Kettle Whistle is a Jane’s Addiction song written in 1985 by Perry Farrell and Eric Avery.  The song was said to be a likely candidate to appear on the never recorded follow-up to Ritual de lo Habitual. The song would go unreleased until the 1997 Jane’s Addiction relapse where it would be completed by the band with Red Hot Chili Pepper’s bassist Flea filling in for Eric Avery.

Lyrics

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
So beautiful too
Beautiful too

What makes a baby cry?
What makes a poor baby
Older than a rich one?
Why do we need to belong to someone else?
I bet you wish you were someone else

Well I know why
We all want to be
So beautiful too
So beautiful too
So beautiful too
So beautiful too
