Blind Melon LIVE alt. lyrics (NOT Janes Addiction) - No Rain

[EDIT]
Scroll down for lyrics :)
This is NOT JANES ADDITION!
This is NOT JANES ADDITION!
This is NOT JANES ADDITION!
THIS IS BLIND MELON!
THIS IS BLIND MELON!
THIS IS BLIND MELON!
I uploaded this a long time ago based on the info on an MP3 I had and had trouble finding again, so I uploaded it to youtube. This IS BLIND MELON live on some British TV show or something. I like he lyrics he sings more then the studio/album version so I uploaded it.
READ THE F***ING COMMENTS YOU F***ING IDIOTS! PEOPLE FIGURED THIS OUT YEARS AGO! I KEEP GETTING EMAILS ABOUT THIS SH!T FROM RETARDS WHO'VE JUST REALIZED THAT IT'S TITLED WRONG. NOW I HAVE TO LOG INTO THIS OLDASS ACCOUNT AND TELL YOU ALL (well 90% of you seemingly) WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY FIGURED OUT AND THAT YOU ARE F***ING RETARDED (which you should already know by now if you're old enough to use youtube)
TL;DR
If you comment that this is not Jane's and hate on either band I have ZERO sympathy for all the hate you, quite deservedly, get. Also I like both bands and think you are retarded for taking the time out of YOUR life to act like a retarded fanboy of some long defunct band (yeah I know they are still touring) and b!tching on the internet.

Lyrics:
All I can say is that the Velvet Underground is great
When Im sittin' watching puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two and
Maybe even speak my point of view but it's not sane Nooooh
Its not sane
I just want someone to say to me maybe oh ho oh ho
I'll always be there when you wake
Yeah ha
You know I like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And don't ya know that I start to complain when theres no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake and every day
It rips a little of my life away but its a great escape
(and everyday we need it!)
Escape...escape...escape
Yeah
Ah aha ha
All I can say is that the Velvet Underground is great
When Im sittin' watching puddles gather rain
And all I can do Is just pour some tea for two and
Maybe even speak my point of view but it's not sane Nooooh
Its not sane
I just want someone to say to me maybe oh ho oh ho
I'll always be there when you wake
Yeah ha
You know I like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And don't ya know that I start to complain when theres no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake and every day
It rips a little of my life away but its a great escape
(and everyday we need it!)
Escape...escape...escape
All I can say ya know that my life its a pretty plain
And I like your point of view
Its not sane... its not sane
I just want someone to say to me maybe oh ho oh ho
I'll always be there when you wake
Yeah ha
You know I like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made

It was Limewire (or whoever uploaded it) that said this version was sung by Jane's Addiction. Also it said it was from the O Brother where art thou soundtrack.

[@davidfirth]

This was listed as Dave Matthews Band when I first downloaded. To think for years I thought they had actually done something good.

[@EddieTheH]

DMB have done loads of stuff that's good. And I'm saying that as a punk/metalhead who hates jazz. Quite surprised to see someone of your caliber sh*tting on Dave. BTW, your art is absolute brilliance, I often use it to describe datura poisoning to people. I'd love to tour your mind as if it was the backrooms or something! 😁

[@BajaRosie]

thank you so much for uploading this!!! its my fav version over the studio album

[@ChristopherLister82]

I've been trying to find this version for ages. Thank you good sir, or madam

[@supermodelsonmyDEVO]

NO it's NOT Jane's Addiction, NOR Perry singing... this is not even a cover : this is a true original by Blind Melon, UNPLUGGED LIVE at "Ray Cokes' Most Wanted" on MTV. cheers and rest in piece, Shannon !!

[@ronnato162]

To be fair, it does kind of sound Perry at the beginning

[@deliciousdreamer]

I always thought this was Janes because I ripped it on Limewire back in the day and that's what it said! lol

[@iwanttoseemrshow]

@Eddie Hitler Can confirm the computer space aids. Good thing I had a gateway computer with a windows backup disc

[@7credible]

Thank you, guy who uploaded this.

[@jefferycampbell4320]

always liked the song when Blind Melon did it..really love the Janes Addiction cover

[@gloomgirl]

You are so missed, Shannon. Rest In Peace-I hope heaven sounds like this 🖤

[@myself30035]

@supermodelsonmyDEVO oh, thanks for saying where it's from - I have this version... somehow... no idea where it came from. anyway I kept getting confused because the lyrics is 'life is pritty plaine' and I was sooo sure he keeps saying 'velvet underground is great'... so, I was right and my hearing is just fine. haha! so, thank you :)

[@lordneojacks]

By far the best version

[@skiman5289]

Agree with 100%

[@KRHSlax29]

This is taken from Blind Melon when they played on MTV live with Ray Cokes as the host dude, theres a video of it, just search blind melon no rain

[@ThePsychicChickpeas]

I got this through LimeWire in error - no mention of Jane's Addiction - it was listed as part of the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack! Luckily, have discovered an ace song as a result... :D

[@ibeza7]

This is Blind Melon, the original band that did the song.

[@7min2pluto]

its a live unplugged version by BY Blind Melon

[@syindrome]

My favorite version

[@Hoblitygoodness]

It would appear that this tricked the whole internet into believing that Jane's Addiction did a cover of this song. Holy crap, that lie got around the world before truth could get it's boots on.

[@jmanning6620]

No it was Limewire that got it wrong. They listed this version as sung by Jane's Addiction and according to them it was from the O' Brother Where out Thou soundtrack.

[@JamesVirgilio-lf4gz]

Anyone remember that Napster had it labeled correctly all those years ago? Man I am old

[@msmingusmingusmingus]

Its Blind Melon for sure, off Ray Cokes Most Wanted on MTV, search that and there's a video with this audio

[@szendre23]

R.I.P. Shannon Hoon.

[@greenorange75]

Awesome cover.

[@Clion901]

I love this version, and I love Shannon.

[@prolific9002]

poetry in musical motion

[@danvorosmarty9854]

Jane's Addiction & Bob Marley + Phish with James Brown No Rain "Girl I want to make you sweat" cover.

[@tacticalbondsh]

I think this might be Jane's Addiction

[@iwanttoseemrshow]

Where did you get this version? What album? I must have it!

[@BowskiBig]

Heard his on the radio as a kid and asked my mom to change it real rock, now its perfect to me for some reason. And the intro fucking rocks, "All I can say is that The Velvet Underground is great when I'm sittin' watchin' pubbles gather rain!"

[@Nap712]

That's how good the cover is

[@deaconlyric]

i am confused, because i have had a copy of this on my hard drive for 4 years now and only came here to get a video. i download edit years ago along with sympathy for the devil and some other stuff from their unplugged set. Since when is this NOT a Jane's Addiction song? I am sad to hear that if it's true, since it's one of my favorite covers

[@outtasightouttamind6263]

Hey is this Jane's Addition?

[@Melonfan1]

That sounds not a second like janes addiction

[@pablobtk]

@Hoblitygoodness i have just seen the video to this performance and... IT'S NOT JANE'S BUT MY BELOVED HOON AND CO. sorry felas but you got it all screwed up. hoblit has it right

[@denecedaze]

although.....i think shannon hoon would be very flattered! i love janes addiction....id love to hear them cover some melon!

[@Mudget]

it's been pointed out but it should be pointed out again. this is not jane's addiction. it would be nice if the poster would go ahead and correct that.

[@theoriginalMaxman2]

@Cuatroooooo well put

[@mezykin]

wooooo think perry farrell oughta join blind melon he sounds so convincingly like shannon!

[@montemike]

when i first heard blind melon i thought they were a janes cover band

[@mickiem6024]

Does anyone know where I can this version on download or disc?

[@kylebivens8140]

Just use a video to MP3 converter

[@skiman5289]

This version is way better

[@SchindlerHaughton]

This isn't Jane's Addiction, this is the Dave Matthews Band.

[@pippisippi]

Too funny, to the guy who downloaded this and sympathy for the devil upstairs been on the same day as my son. He also downloaded in the pines( my girl) which was listed on lumewire as Janes:)'

[@ThePsychicChickpeas]

Took me ages to find who this song was by/what it was: have it on iPod due to LimeWire misnaming - what's with the Velvet Underground/life is plain lyric change - made it VERY hard to locate?! Superb track, like. The band any good besides this?

[@nickrose2168]

Shannon loved the Velvet Underground. whats to wonder? Check out their cover of Candy Says. it rocks.

[@ruariefarrelly]

There is no way that is not Shannon Hoon..!!! XX

[@mushroomhill]

That most def IS Perry Farrell. He just went the extra mile to sound like Hoon.

[@DoctorMonkeyWrench]

+mushroomhill hahaha. but no. i love them both, but this is shannon.

[@KOKY27999]

no rain exelente temaaa

[@watermelonwilly]

This is blind melon live.

[@Csledd420]

@theeracheyx THERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!

[@7credible]

@Cuatroooooo Sounds a little like Perry.

[@powerline880s]

[@Csledd420]

@OriginalMagnificence CORRECT SIR

[@airjamin8tor]

Not Janes Addiction

[@horsedoctorman]

@deaconlyric lol your hearing is really bad if you think it's perry farrell singing on this

[@frenchylv]

Not Janes dude! Leave the dead guy alone and give him credit!!!

[@CeleHoonLove]

[@theeracheyx]

ita janes addiction listen to the singer its totally them or at least the singer

[@StellersGEditor]

Yeah, noway that's Ferrell's voice...still best version

[@denecedaze]

shannon hoon baby!!

[@easyflow13]

@trivium1235 nope was a cocaine overdose

[@dharmagirl108]

So not Perry.

[@theDuctapeUnion]

@darkbrahmin Well the feedback is useless if you don't change the title. Therefore I will flag as SPAM for MISLEADING TEXT and so should you. ;)

[@theDuctapeUnion]

Please FLAG as SPAM for MISLEADING TEXT. -Thanks

[@theDuctapeUnion]

Please FLAG as SPAM for MISLEADING TEXT. Great band. Great song. Not labeled properly.

[@BowskiBig]

Anyone know which albulm, single, whatever, this was released on. I'd like to grab a copy.

[@buttonsbtz]

error

[@howardb42006]

uummm...Wrong on the Jane's addiction thing. That's Blind Melon. Not that Jane's doesn't rock but..nope..

[@Cuatroooooo]

obviously not perry & co but anyway that makes no less that five stars. shannons voice always reminds me of some kind of "male janis joplin", one of a kind..

[@theeracheyx]

@darkbrahmin dude its janes addiction listen to the voice its totally them or at least just the singer

[@soundagar]

isso não é janes..

[@actionnotforce]

Lol

[@deantnorton]

[@elanalua]

[@Mudget]

misinformed youtube post.

[@MINDCONTROLLEDLOVE]

[@Diediddlydie]

@deaconlyric dude listen to this and then jane says. If you stlll think they sound the same, go clean the SHIT out of ur ears!

[@arnigeddon]

[@ruariefarrelly]

There is no way that is not Shannon Hoon..!!! XX
