There is only one Janes Addiction...I'm just "tryin" to hang with them on their 1988 classic. Jane Says... 1 acoustic, 1 electric guitar, and two steel drums tracks I recorded over this using this online virtual steel drum.

"Jane Says" is a song by alternative rock group Jane's Addiction. It was first released in live format on the group's 1987 live debut album, Jane's Addiction. It was re-recorded in the studio for their first studio album, Nothing's Shocking. Another live version appears on the band's 1997 rarities compilation Kettle Whistle.

The title refers to lead singer Perry Farrell's ex-housemate, Jane Bainter, who was a heroin addict.[1] By day, she works in an office, and, at night, she uses. The song carries drug references such as "kick" (stop using). Toward the end of the song, the lyrics say that Jane has never been in love, and that she doesn't know what it is. She only knows if someone wants her; the stanza ends with "I want them if they want me". The fourth verse contains a reference to St. Andrews St. in Los Angeles, CA.

"Jane Says" uses only two chords and makes extensive use of steel drums. It is one of Jane's Addiction's most famous songs and frequently ends their concerts, despite never being released as a single.
