About Song Yet to Be Sung

Song Yet to Be Sung is an album by Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell, released on July 16, 2001, on Virgin Records. Originally titled The Diamond Jubilee, it features collaborations from Farrell's bandmates Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins and Martyn LeNoble. The title track was the official song in trailers for the series premiere of the television show Smallville. "When I do get to rehearsing and playing it live," he said in early 2001, "there will still be highs, but they probably won't get up where Jane's goes. So if I am remembered for only one thing, then that's a shame. But if it burns brighter because Jane's is there, then I can live easy with that legacy."

Let me tell ya, 
You're at the jubilee, or you're all alone 
Because the more, the merrier it sound 
Friends all tell me so 
The birds wake up the grass, and tell everybody, say it's time to grow 
The sun whispers to the birds, oh the song yet to be sung.... 

Song yet to be sung, (song yet to be sung) the song yet to be sung.... 

Give them the world ay yi yi 

You're at the jubilee,or you're all alone 
Because the more, the merrier it sound 
My friends, everybody, they all tell me so 
From the heights, from the heights of saiyon 
Ohhh yeah, whisper in your ear 
We got to play on, what a designery 
A little bit of song, the song yet to be sung 

Song yet to be sung (song yet to be sung) song yet to be sung 
Song yet to be sung (song yet to be sung) song yet to be sung
