The Association - Along Comes Mary (HD/Lyrics)

[majordendrocopos]

A perfect pop song! Catchy little tune, interesting lively structure, nice harmonies and lyrics that sound like they mean something profound but don’t mean anything.

Thank for the lyrics written! I'm a sing-along-type of gal. Recently, been listening to a lot of their songs. Love them! The music isn't as pleasant, whimsical & fun like they used to be, but confident we are going, experiencing good times, slowly, but surely! 🎉🥳🌞

I’ve listened to this song since it first came out. I could never understand the words. Even seeing the lyrics, my eyes can’t even keep up. Great song though.

As iconic a pop song that's ever been recorded, , the song that Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys wish they had written and performed, , ,

Along Comes Mary Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 in rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me

[Chorus 1]
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
From all the 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

[Verse 2]
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played the neighbor folks make jokes
At who is most to blame today

[Chorus 2]
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 as 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

[Flute solo]

[Verse 3]
And when the morning of the warning's passed
The gassed and flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars

[Chorus 3]
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

[Outro]
Sweet as the punch (Sweet as the punch)
Sweet as the punch (Sweet as the punch)
Sweet as the punch (Sweet as the punch)
Sweet as the punch

Holy Jesus Christ I don’t know if to give kudos to the songwriter for the great word smithing or be fearful of the darkness they portray

[rogermisner]

What the heck is this song about anyway. I didn't know in '66 and after seeing the lyrics, I still don't know.

Weed! Satan's garden variety and named after Jesus's mother no less. Well...someone had to sing about it...why not these guys?
