Oh, Lilly likes Beatles songs
The words are off, but they don't feel that wrong
She came in through the bedroom window like a blue girl
Like a blue girl, like a blue girl

No, never has she tried too hard
Lord, her whispered words could mend broken hearts
Her sundress shines through a hurricane
Making all boys squeal like swine before pearls

Hey, Little Lilly,
Don't believe everything you see
Hey, Little Lilly,
Don't believe everything you see

'Round and 'round and 'round she goes
Like a sweetheart's ??? at the movie show
Lilly leans back in the very last row
The lights go low, and the show goes on

Even schoolgirls like her way
Oh, marry the preacher, make little angels some day
Silent as a child when the first snows fall
Perfect player in anyone's own little world

Hey, Little Lilly,
Don't believe everything you see
Hey, Little Lilly,
Don't believe everything you see

'Round and 'round and 'round she goes
Like Shirley's curlies at the movie show
Lilly leans back in the very last row
And the light goes low, the show goes on

Lilly likes Beatles songs
The words are off, but they don't feel that wrong
She came in through the bedroom window like a blue girl
Like a blue girl, like a blue girl

Hey, Little Lilly,
Don't believe everything you see
Hey, Little Lilly,
Don't believe everything you see
Hey, Little Lilly,
Don't believe everything you see
Hey, Little Lilly,
It's only the end if you believe
It's only the end if you believe
It's only the end if you believe

Later that night, Dad buys three Widespread Panic CDs off the web.

So, were you Son #1 or Son #2? (Or Dad!)

  

Also funny because it's so, so far from what my dad would have said and done with his sons. I had the same reaction when my pottery teacher—a lovely woman with three teenaged daughters—revealed that she smoked pot at home "but only with my oldest daughter." My vision of doing anything like that with my parents back in the day had me on the floor. 

I see as Unclehud as the brave dad. Personal bests all around!

On my tinny laptop speakers I was first guessing John Mellencamp.  Good  song; an easy listen.

I second that expression of sheer awe! And, to boot, I think they were even in the same key!
Sounds like the unholy hellspawn of Dave Matthews and Blues Traveler.  Need to wash my ears out with some Sabbath, see y'all tomorrow!

Average song, but an excellent segue from Mark Knopfler! Well done, Bill!

Outstanding pairing with Mark Knopfler!
In case you click on the iTunes link, this specific version does not come up. I finally figured out that the song is also listed as "Little Lily" - one L.
Interesting that this song was last played on November 15, 2010 at exactly 4:20 am.......good timing or coincidence?  I love Widespread Panic.

This is a nice piece.  Sounds almost like something Blind Melon would have done.

Nice set.
Brilliant Bill

Word.  I actually rewound (you can do that on the iPhone/iPod app) and listened to the transition again.  You can only just barely tell there's a transition by the fact that Knopfler's guitar drops out of the mix for a moment, and the guitar that comes back doesn't quite sound like his.  Just brilliant, Bill.

What a segue from Coyote.

Such a fab band live! I didn't know any of their music when I saw them, but had a great time.
8 > 9 this morning, 'cause i'm just off a 3 night run of widespread in orange beach, alabama.  was a great weekend!

Mark Knopfler - Coyote     ==>    Widespread Panic - Little Lilly

Yep, I'll second that - the join was so seamless I didn't realise we'd moved to a new song until a new vocalist kicked in. Smooth work, Bill/Becky.

great segue from knopfler!!!

Best segue I have ever heard on RP.
Best segue ever, period.  Or Knopfler ripped off Widespread Panic 's riff... {#Think}


Wow, that was amazing. Nice bridge Bill. Almost seamless...
Holy F-Prompt. That's one helluva segue. I actually had to log into RP just to comment on how awesome that was. Magical, really.

I had the same sensation with the same segue two months later!

One of Bill's better segues.

This song is OK, but a better song from this album is "This Part of Town".
these guys were doing it long before dave matthews. slithytove wrote:

Impressive musical (rather than topical, verbal, etc) segue from Knopfler's "Coyote."

Watched them on Austin City Limits and it was good.

Is it just me or does this song have a bit of a Cult vibe? That's what I'm hearing.

so stoked that i'm gonna see them at Bonnaroo
I like the beat.
Always happy to hear WP
I saw these guys in concert once and they sucked. I can't say I've ever really liked them anyway though; I just don't understand why they're popular.

Little Lilly is a great tune. Who remembers Sonny the percussionist? Wasn't he great..greatest smile and attitude. While working the Uptown in Athens in the late 80s and early 90s (after hearing 40 monday night shows of Widespread that all bled together in maybe six or seven 15 minute songs) I always thought they only needed one 3 minute melodious hit per year to get them on the radio. But hey, who needs melody hits when you are packing out live shows every week and enjoy touring forever. Another piece of Trivia -- who replaced Widespread's Monday night Uptown gigs...? Indigo Girls.
Cool bass line, not flashy, but it encourages a...here it is again...solid groove. Haha, for all the bassist's or drumers listening.
