Little Lies is a great song. In fact it might be my favorite song from '87 (although with or without you came out that year too). It is recognizable and has great harmonies. It just isn't a Fleetwood Mac song. Most of Tango really was lacking the Fleetwood Mac sound. This became evident to me when playing GH for a friend on a long car trip while trying to initiate him to FM.
He was really enjoying the songs, loved LB's guitar work primarily and when we came to stuff like Everywhere and Little Lies my friend recognized the songs but said, "Wow, this is a good song but it really doesn't fit in with their sound. They have a really great rhythm section, rely a bit too much on percussion and experiment quite a bit but this stuff just doesn't seem to match up to the rest of their songs"
Little Lies would fit better on Christine's solo album and would have been a real treat on there.
