The Association Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Along Comes Mary

Lyricist:Tandyn Almer

Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend my time at rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks, and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales fromhe fails and tribulations
No one ever sees

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes
At who is most to blame today

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality
From where she got her name
And will they struggle much, when told that such a tender touch
of hers
Will make them not the same

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed and
flaccid kids
Are flung across the staras
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the
pains
She left the night before
Or will their waking eyes, reflect the lies, and make them
realize
Their urgent cry for sight no more

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch, sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch, sweet as the punch


2.Cherish

Lyricist:Terry Kirkman

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish
you

Perish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
That I am not gonna be the one to share what
Seems to be the life that you could cherish as much as I do
yours

Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you are drivin' me out of my mind

Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize
That I want you just like a thousand other guys
Who'd say they loved you with all the rest of their lies
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
And gaze into your eyes

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish
you

And I do cherish you
And I do cherish you
Cherish is the word


3.Everything That Touches You

Lyricist:Terry Kirkman

In my most secure moments, I still can't believe
I'm spending those moments with you
And the ground I am walking, the air that I breathe
Are shared at those moments with you

You love for real, you show the feel
Of everything that touches you

In the songs I've been singing quite often a phrase
Comes close to the feeling of you
But I never suspected that one of those days
The wish of a song would come true

You love for real, you show the feel
Of everything that touches you

You are of gracefulness, you are of happiness
You are what I would guess to be most like
What I've been singing of
Love, love, love, love

In the songs I've been singing quite often a phrase
Comes close to the feeling of you
But I never suspected that one of those days
The wish of a song would come true

You love for real, you show the feel
Of everything that touches you
Love, love, love, love

Everything is love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love

Everything is love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love

Everything is love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love


4.Goodbye Columbus

GOODBYE COLUMBUS
The Association

Got to say hello, it's a lucky day
Kiss the moon goodbye and be on our way
It's a lucky day 'cause I found you
Gonna build a new world around you
Touch the sun and run, it's a lucky day
Hello life, goodbye Columbus
I've got a feelin' that you're gonna hear from us
You're gonna know that we've taken the world by surprise
Got that look in our eyes

5.Never My Love

Lyricist:Donald J. Addrisi, Richard P. (dick Addrisi

You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never my love
Never my love

You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose it's desire for you
Never my love
Never my love

What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends
On you
(On you)

Never my love
Never my love

You say you fear I'll change my mind
And I won't require you
Never my love
(Never my love)
Never my love
(Never my love)

How can you think love will end
When I've asked you to spend your whole life
With me
(With me)
(With me)

Never my love
(Never my love)
Never my love
(Never my)
(My love)

Never my love
(Never my love)
Never my love
(Never my)
(My love)


6.Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies

I have walked along the paths of dark and light
And I have seen the sunrise and I've seen the night
I've seen the calm before the storm and then the fight
And now I see the sparrows as they begin to fly
And all that's left for me to do is cry

I've had my view of happiness and my view of despair
I've cleaned out all the cobwebs and I've learned how to compare
I've seen all of the circles and I've had my last affair
And now I see the sparrows as they begin to fly
And all that's left for me to do is cry

Thinking that I was lost then finding
The end to all beginnings
Gave to me the key made of lead
And golden freeing locks, Pandora's boxes
Devils are expended and I'm finally free

And when all the tears are finally cried
And I am finally clean inside
The gentle winds will come and they will dry my mind
And I will see the sparrow that need no longer fly
And all that will be left for me to do is die


7.Time for Livin'

Lyricist:Donald Addrisi, Richard Addrisi

I kicked off my shoes and felt the good earth under my feet
I loosened my tie and felt what it feels like to breathe
I found the secret to life, I took some time for livin'

I took off my watch and found I had all the time in the world
I opened my arms, so I could hold life like a beautiful girl
I laid down, all of my hang-ups forever

I looked around and saw what sweet things can be found
Simply by taking some time for livin'
Groovin' on little things life is givin'
From now on I'm takin' time for life

Too busy to stop and notice the things that are real
Embarrassed to talk, about all the things that I feel
It's so strange, never noticed the world all around me

Hey, look I've changed, my attitude's been rearranged
From now on I'm takin' some time for livin'
Groovin' on everythin' life is givin'
I'm gonna be takin' time for life

(For livin')
Groovin' on everythin' life is givin'
I'm gonna be takin' time for life
(For livin')
Groovin' on everythin' life is givin'
I'm gonna be takin' time for life

(For livin')
Groovin' on everythin' life is givin'
I'm gonna be takin' time for life
(For livin')
Groovin' on everythin' life is givin'
I'm gonna be takin' time for life

(For livin')
Groovin' on everythin' life is givin'


8.Windy

Lyricist:Ruthann Friedman

Who's peekin' out from under a stairway
Calling a name that's lighter than air
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Windy

And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds
(Above the clouds)
Above the clouds
(Above the clouds)

And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds
(Above the clouds)
Above the clouds
(Above the clouds)

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Windy


9.Just About The Same

Lyricist:Rhodes Doug, Ron Edgar, Michael Fennelly, William Mallory,
Stec Joseph W.

Stop for a moment just to see where you're goin'
If you sure that is what you wanna know
Now that you think that the end is worth knowin'
Back to the start is where you wanna go

Hey, everybody is
Just about the same, just about the same
Hey, when you finally see
From where we came, from where we came

Ask me your question and I'll give you your answer
Are you part of everybody, yes, you are
Where do you think all these people have come from
Are you their brother, well, I guess you are

Hey, everybody is
Just about the same, just about the same
Hey, when you finally see
From where we came, from where we came


10.No Fair At All

Lyricist:James Yester

I've never seen this side of you before
Till now
I never knew that you could feel this way
Till now

After all the time we spent together
Just doesn't seem fair
At all
No fair at all

Never seen the moonlight through your hair
Till now
Never heard the sweet things you could say
Till now

After all the time we spent together
Just doesn't seem fair
At all
No fair at all

After all the time we spent together
Just doesn't seem fair
At all
No fair at all
No fair at all

No no no no no fair at all
No no no no no fair at all
No fair at all
No no no no no fair at all
No no no


11.Dreamer

Lyricist:John David Martin

Can't believe you got that attitude
You've been so cold and rude
Baby, when you're gonna give it up
Tell me are we breaking up?

I know what you wanna do
You wanna leave me blue, you

Dreamer, dreamer
Dreamer, dreamer

You've been telling everyone and all
Just how I'm gonna fall
When I do, you're gonna be right there
To walk away and show me you don't care

I know what you wanna do
You wanna leave me blue, you

Dreamer, dreamer
Dreamer, dreamer

I remember when
She goes in my skin
Though it's very thin
She thinks she's gonna win

Dreamer, dreamer
Dreamer, dreamer

Dreamer, dreamer
Dreamer, dreamer

Dreamer, dreamer
Dreamer, dreamer


12.We Love

Lyricist:Ted Bluechel

I wake her, I hold her
I tell her I love her
And she smiles and says the same
She makes me feel like sunshine when she says my name

Her laughing, her crying
Her caring, her sharing
Of my life means more to me
Than all the wealth and fame that fortune brings to me

Turn your head around
Are you sure love's the feeling that surrounds you?
Does the question count when you feel good
As good inside as I do, do you?

The sun sets, the gulls fly
We love us, she and I


13.Requiem for the Masses

Lyricist:Terry Kirkman

Requiem aeternam
Requiem aeternam

Mama, mama, forget your pies
Have faith they won't get cold
And turn your eyes to the bloodshot sky
Your flag is flying full

At half mast for the matadors
Who turned their backs
To please the crowd
And all fell before the bull

Red was the color of his blood flowing thin
Pallid white was the color of his lifeless skin
Blue was the color of the morning sky
He saw looking up from the ground where he died
It was the last thing ever seen by him

Kyrie Eleison

Mama, mama, forget your pies
Have faith they won't get cold
And turn your eyes to the bloodshot sky
Your flag is flying full

At half mast for the matadors
Who turned their backs
To please the crowd
And all fell before the bull

Black and white were the figures that recorded him
Black and white was the newsprint he was mentioned in
Black and white was the question that so bothered him
He never asked, he was taught not to ask
But was on his lips as they buried him

Rex tremendae majestatis

Requiem aeternam
Requiem aeternam


14.Six Man Band

Lyricist:Terry Kirkman

Well, I'm a day at a time
I'm a day at a time
Well, I'm a seeker and knower
In a six man mind

'Cause I'm a traveling man
Yes, I'm a traveling man
Well, I'm a comer and a goer
In a six man band

Well, I'm a California man
My instrument in hand, I'm electrified
On a fast flying trip
Dirty laundry in my grip mostly drip-dry

We got the seventeen jewels that dictate the rules
And the time to fly as we're passing by
We just got the time to say hello
And then a fast goodbye

I'm a traveling man
Yes, I'm a traveling man
Well, I'm a comer and a goer
In a six man band


15.Enter the Young

Lyricist:Terry Kirkman

Here they come
Here they come

(Here they come, yeah)
Well, some are walking, some are riding
(Here they come, yeah)
And some are flying, some just gliding
Released after years of being kept in hiding
They're climbing up the ladder rung by rung

(Enter the young, yeah)
Yeah, they've learned how to think
(Enter the young, yeah)
More than you think they think

Not only learned to think but to care
Not only learned to think but to dare
Enter the young

Yeah, here they come
Well, some with questions, some decisions
Here they come
And some with facts and some with visions
Of a place to multiply without the use of divisions
To win a prize that no one's ever won

Enter the young
Yeah, they've learned how to think
Enter the young
More than you think they think

Not only learned to think but to care
Not only learned to think but to dare
Enter the young
Enter the young

Here they come, yeah
Well, some are laughing, some are crying
Here they come
And some are doing, some are trying
Some are selling, some are buying
Some are living, some are dying
But demanding recognition one by one

Enter the young
Yeah, they've learned how to think
Enter the young
More than you think they think

Not only learned to think but to care
Not only learned to think but to dare
Enter the young, yeah, enter the young, yeah
Enter the young, yeah, enter the young, yeah
Enter the young


16.The Time It Is Today

Lyricist:Russell Giguere

Sunrise, sunset what you're born with is what you get
Let your fear just pass away
Then your love will fill your days

I know, I need so little yet so much
Child's sweet laughter, woman's touch
I can't say just what is real, all I know is what I feel

I know, the time it is today and we must find our way
My heart it clearly states the answer's not in hate
I once believed that love was but a dream
But now I know that love's a flowing stream

They're lying, killing they're pushing their rules
They tell you the prophets all are just fools
But I know different and I won't be used
It's they that are lost, it's they are confused

Sunrise, sunset what you're born with is what you get
All your worries all your fears
They don't change the passing years
I know


17.We Love Us

Lyricist:Jr., Theodore Bluechel

I wake her, I hold her
I tell her I love her
And she smiles and says the same
She makes me feel like sunshine
When she says my name

Her laughing, her crying
Her caring, her sharing
Of my life means more to me
Than all the wealth and fame
That fortune brings to me

Turn your head around
Are you sure love's the feeling that surrounds you?
Does the question count when you feel good
As good inside as I do, do you?

The sun sets, the gulls fly
We love us, she and I


18.On A Quiet Night

On a quiet night
You can hear the rustling of the leaves
On a quiet night
Distant voices carry softly in the breeze

And I'm inside my room
Captured in a moment's thought
Strumming on a chord from my guitar

Silently, silently
(Silently)
So silently
(So silently)

On a quiet night
Time hangs heavy in the air just like a cloud
I'm lying on my bed
Scratching my head, wondering what it's about

Are we all minstrels
Playing in a three-ring circus
Searching for a purpose that's not there

Silently, silently
(Silently)
So silently
(So silently, so silently, so silently)

Everybody's thinking
Gotta get ahead, gotta get ahead
Everybody's drinking
Hurrying, worrying, playing the game
All acting the same
As I look out through my windowpane

On a quiet night
The wind, it can play tricks on your ear
Like some unsolved mystery
We all guess at the ending, but nobody comes near

Are we all minstrels
Playing in a three-ring circus
Searching for a purpose that's not there

Silently, silently
(Silently)
So silently
(So silently, so silently, so silently)


19.Wasn't It A Bit Like Now?

Silly bubbles effervesce
In the mothball smell of a beaded dress
The, 'Oh, you kids', the marathons
The bathtub gin, hungover dawns

The round-framed picture, the flat straw hat
The long-nosed roadster at a mile a minute flat
The bell-bottom pants, the fine silk vest
Are all tucked away in her cedar chest

Ah, ha, ha, ah, ha, ha
Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ah, ah
Wasn't it a bit like now

Huh Mom, huh Dad?

Are all the memories really gone
Gone of the best darn times
I'll bet you ever had

Instead of groovy, it was mean and jeepers, it's wild
It just doesn't seem that different now
The why's are the same, it's just a question of how
Doesn't it seem a little bit like now
I pose this question to your arching brow

Huh Mom, huh Dad?

Cosmetic progress intensifies
The so cool look in my baby's eyes
The far-out kids, the kicks they're on
Obsolete sins, new world's dawn

Three pictures for a quarter in your Carnaby hat
Jet-propelled cars on the Bonneville flats
Slender legs in their paisley best
All tucked away in her mini-dress


20.Happiness Is

Look at a clown
He paints a smile on everybody's face
Watch the balloon you buy just to let fly away
Though it's funny to see, still I know that for me

Happiness is to see the love shine in your eyes
Happiness is the way you make me laugh inside

Go to the beach
Build castles of sand that the tide will wash away
Hot dogs and sun, mustard all over your face
Though it's funny to do, still I know that my truth

Happiness is to see the love shine in your eyes
Happiness is the way you make me laugh inside

Though it's funny to see
Still I know that for me

Happiness is
Happiness is

Happiness is
Happiness is

Happiness is
Happiness is
...
