Easy Like Sunday Morning Track - Lily (My One and Only) by The Smashing Pumpkins

Today's Easy Like Sunday Morning Track is Lily (My One and Only) by The Smashing Pumpkins. This is off of their 1995 double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

If you don't pay attention to the lyrics you might think it is just a sweet little love song. Instead, it is a Peeping Tom singing about peeping on Lily from a tree by her window. Eventually the cops come and get him and take him away. Very romantic.

"Oh Lily, I know you love me
Cause as they're draggin me away
I swear I saw her raise her hand and wave (goodbye)"
