That paragraph is also used in a song known as The Tragedy Of One's Own Soul. so I'm thinking this song probably sounds somewhat along those lines. Another OSOTM outtake that most of us didn't know about?

Good eye!

As for other OSOTM outtakes, I hope that Love Don't Fail Me Now surfaces on a master reel. I've always kind of liked that song, it's very torch singer-esque.

I'd love to have a clean version of The Tragedy...I kind of love that song, Kenny G and all.

I like it for the first couple minutes, but by minute seven, I'm ready to gas up the oven.

Finally, someone else who admits to liking that song! I think it's beautiful - one of my favorites. And unlike "Lily Girl" its lyrics are coherent.

It might be better if this never leaves its cave

Mathew first posted this on Nancy's board and thought I would pass it along. It is a reel and purchased by a "group of fans" from a source that is not well know. It is not in circulation at this time. Thanks Mathew for the info/lyrics.



Lily Girl
Stevie Nicks
4-15-88, take 2
Originally transcribed by Jan and Jill

One found out all the sudden what was going on
And this made you mad and he said
I'm not gonna do this anymore
Well, I can't live like this
She was a Lily Girl
Not made for this world
Veiled eyes covering nights of tears... nights of tears
Like the blue blue water and the crystal fountains
Why I simply could not believe it

One found out all of a sudden
We don't have so very much in common
You don't have very much to say
So you tell me what it is that you are wanting
Just look at me with those signs and say nothing

We don't talk to each other every day
In fact, sometimes weeks go by
We don't speak and then something in the mail comes
She goes a little bit into shock

Ooh he's back, something's gotta go wrong, I know
She was a Lily Girl
Not made for this world
Veiled eyes covering a night of tears... night of tears

We don't talk to each other every day
In fact, sometimes weeks go by
We don't speak, we don't have very much in common
And we don't have very much to say

Would you just tell me what it is
That you're wanting from me
Just look at me with those eyes
And you say nothing

One found out all of the sudden what was going on
She was a Lily Girl,
Not made for this world

We found out all of the sudden
What was going on
And what made you mad
When you said
We don't have so very much in common anyway
But you don't have anything else to say

We don't talk to each other every day
No, sometimes we don't talk for weeks
Weeks go by
We don't speak

Just everything about this
Is too good to be true
Something's going to go wrong, I know

And you wake up in the middle of the night
It's just a bad dream baby
No, it was a nightmare
And it started a fight

It was a bad dream baby... she was a Lily Girl

OKAY. I have only read the title of this thread, and the first post with the lyrics. After I press "submit reply", I am going to read the rest of this thread to see if this is all just a practical joke.

Did you wake up in the middle of the night, Sparks?
It's just a bad dream baby
No, it was a nightmare
And it started a fight
Ooh, ooh, la-la-la-la, fairy farts
Check your mail tomorrow, no spoken words
You'll go into a little shock

Lord Have Mercy. It's real.

This ranks right up there with Dial The Number.

I am going to go see if I have any alcohol in the house. I know I have a Xanax. I may need both. If there was a recording circulating, I think it might make Dissention start drinking.

What the hell is in the mailbox ?

1. A thesaurus
2. Mel Bay's Guitar Chords
3. Betty Ford HERSELF...and she is pissed off.

Too late, bud.

Maybe it was a chastity belt in the mailbox. Would explain many, many things. Or maybe Connie and Raymond Marble sent her a package.

The lyrics are just about the worst I've seen from her -- and that's saying something -- but I'd still love to hear it. I guess I'm an incurable completist.

I also love Dial The Number, another song from that period. But yes, there's something so...Stevie about Tragedy. Kenny G really adds to the song too and I don't usually like his music. I think it really reflects where she was at during that period. And it is just so sad.

Worse than "no you write your songs yourself?". No way.
