MUCH BETTER LOVER
Much Better Lover
by Julian Harvey
Last night half asleep
I reached for you
You’d slinked away like a cat
Now you come crawlin’ back once again
I’m not needin’ that
You’re a freaky, sneaky kind o’ guy
A mug who bugs out in the night
Just because you act ashamed
Don’t make your wrongs alright
I’ll look around
All over town
And when my lookin’s through
I’ll discover a Much Better Lover than you
Take your belongings and go
Or I will do somethin’ rash
I’ll give ‘em all away, better still
Throw ‘em in the trash
You’re a freaky, sneaky kind o’ guy
A mug who bugs out in the night
Just because you act ashamed
Don’t make your wrongs alright
I’ll look around
All over town
And when my lookin’s through
I’ll uncover a Much Better Lover than you
I’ll have a man who treats me right
Any time, anywhere
When I reach for him
He will be there
You’re a freaky, sneaky kind o’ guy
A mug who bugs out in the night
Just because you act ashamed
Don’t make your wrongs alright
I’ll look around
All over town
And when my lookin’s through
I’ll find another Much Better Lover than you
I’ll find another Much Better Lover than you

IS IT TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
Is it Time to Say Goodbye?
by Julian Harvey and David Kent
Is it Time to Say Goodbye?
After all these tears I’ve cried
Do I walk right out the door
Or should I think it through once more?
Is it Time to Say Goodbye?
There’s no magic in his kiss
There’s no passion in his eyes
Is he tryin’ to set me free
And leave the leavin’ up to me?
Is it Time to Say Goodbye?
In dreams it’s just the two of us when we first met
Those perfect endless nights and summer days
But still my morning pillow is soakin wet
It’s crazy how a broken heart behaves
Has he found some other love?
Should it even matter why?
Do I end it just like that?
Slip the key under the mat?
Is it Time to Say Goodbye?
I wonder does he feel it when he holds me
Just one more thing I guess I’ll never know
Like how can two hearts be so close and yet so lonely?
And is it harder holdin’ on or lettin’ go?
I can’t fight this any more
It’s the same each time I try
I pick up the paper and the pen
Then I lay them down again
Is it Time to Say Goodbye?
Is it Time to Say Goodbye?

FEELIN FOREVER BLUE
Feelin’ Forever Blue
by Julian Harvey
When you have found a lover
Life is a dream come true,
When you have lost a lover
You’re Feelin’ Forever Blue.
I had a love so perfect
From every point of view,
Now that my love has left me
I’m Feelin’ Forever Blue.
Never knew why she walked out,
Looked up and she was gone.
I spend my hours tryin’
To carry on.
If you’re in love with someone
Who's not in love with you,
You're sure to end up dealin’
With Feelin’ Forever Blue.
(Instrumental break)
If you’re in love with someone
Who's not in love with you,
You're sure to end up dealin’
With Feelin’ Forever Blue.
You're sure to end up dealin’
With Feelin’ Forever Blue.

BRASH, RUDE, CRASS AND CRUDE
Brash, Rude, Crass and Crude
by Julian Harvey
He’s with his girl on a date
At some joint, very late
Picks a fight with a guy
Can’t recall who or why
At daybreak through boozy fog
Girl has fled with the dog
Brash, Rude, Crass and Crude
Is his name
More he tries to change
More he’s the same
Brash, Rude, Crass and Crude
Bad to the bone
And he’s left
All alone
He’s feelin’ low, raises hell
Lands in a prison cell
In that cell softly weeps
Til he falls fast asleep
Dreamin’ he’s home and curled
Up with his dog and girl
Brash, Rude, Crass and Crude
Is his game
More he tries to change
More he’s the same
Brash, Rude, Crass and Crude
Bad to the bone
And he’s left
All alone
Back home he swears he’ll behave
Combs his hair, even shaves
Then at night seein’ red
Shoots a guy very dead
Next day come the dawn
Dog and girl still are gone,
Dog and girl still are gone
Brash, Rude, Crass and Crude
Is his shame
More he tries to change
More he’s the same
Brash, Rude, Crass and Crude
Bad to the bone
And he’s left
All alone
Brash, Rude, Crass and Crude
Is his name
More he tries to change
More he’s the same
Brash, Rude, Crass and Crude
Bad to the bone
And he’s left
All alone

YIKERS BIKERS!
Yikers Bikers!
by Julian Harvey
I own a small saloon
Some bikers came at noon
Their bikes blocked the door
I got sore
They didn’t drink a drop
Of beer or soda pop
They just stood and stared
So I declared:
Yikers Bikers!, get outta here
Rev up those bikes and disappear
You’ll tank my business don’t ya see
Go away and let me be
The next day many more
Bikes blocked the door
I didn’t have a clue
What to do
The biker boss appeared
A biker to be feared
He had at his side
My sister starry eyed!
Yikers Bikers!, answer me this
What ya doin’ with my little sis?
Give a listen, listen good
Ride those bikes right out the ‘hood
The boss said don’t get all hot
Your sis and me are tyin' the knot!
He’d come to check on me
‘Cause I’m gonna be family
He had to admit
I’ve got grit
I knew right away
He was okay
Sis found a spouse
Food and drinks on the house!
Yikers Bikers! The wedding went down
With bikers from all over town
That very day I swear it's true
I became a biker too!
Yikers Bikers! The wedding went down
With bikers from all over town
That very day I swear it's true
I became a biker too!
Yikers Bikers!

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
Christmas Lights
By Julian Harvey
Christmas is a fun time
For it’s the one time:
Christmas Lights are all around
Lighting up the town;
Every tree is made bright
On the snowiest night.
Every building wishes you
Season's greetings too.
But the light I hold most dear
Is the light that’s so sincere
In young ones’ eyes
When Christmas is here.
Christmas Lights on boulevards
Look like Christmas cards;
Every home is a show
Every home is aglow.
And inside a fire’s light
Is a welcome sight.
But the light I hold most dear
Is the light that’s so sincere
In young ones’ eyes
When Christmas is here.
Christmas Lights on Christmas morn
Make us glad we’re born.
Children finally can see
Presents under the tree.
Every girl and every boy
Soon is filled with joy.
And the light I hold most dear
Is the light that’s so sincere
In young ones’ eyes when Christmas
When Christmas is here.

DON'T KNOCK OVER THE CHRISTMAS TREE
Don’t Knock Over the Christmas Tree
by Julian Harvey
On Christmas Eve when you can't sleep,
Slowly down dark stairs you creep,
To peek in the living room.
Prepare to meet your doom.
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree.
Your daddy chose it and it ain't free.
You'll trip and if you fell,
You’ll fell the tree as well.
You will trash the place,
Be in deep disgrace,
In court surely lose,
And make national news.
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree.
Dad when you sneak downstairs to eat
Food you left for Santa's treat,
And look for the liverwurst
But Santa got there first,
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree,
It's you who chose it and it ain't free.
You'll cause a major stir
When yelling out "timBER"!
With that fir aground,
Chaos all around,
You will face, of course,
Quite a messy divorce.
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree.
When Santa visits your abode
Lots of presents to unload,
He's careful as he can be.
You can be sure that he
Won't knock over the Christmas tree,
He knows who chose it and it ain’t free.
And when he drives his sleigh
You’ll always hear him say,
“When the time of year
Calls for Christmas cheer,
You’ll enjoy the Yule
If you follow my rule:
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree."
He won't knock over the Christmas tree,
He knows who chose it and it ain’t free.
And when he drives his sleigh
You’ll always hear him say,
“When the time of year
Calls for Christmas cheer,
You’ll enjoy the Yule
If you follow my rule:
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree,
Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree!"

TAKE A RIDE
Take a Ride
by Julian Harvey
Now’s the time to Take a Ride
Let adventure be your guide
Travel round the bend, or just pretend
Take a Ride
Moving slow or moving fast
You can watch the world go past
There’s a lot to see when you’re on a spree
Take a Ride
Head for what enchants you
Fly to the stars
Set yourself free
Follow your heart
If your life’s a heavy load
Pack your bag and hit the road
When you need a break
For goodness sake
Take a Ride!
(Instrumental break)
So to make your day complete
Pack your bag and hit the street
When you need a break
For goodness sake
Take a Ride!
When you need a break
For goodness sake
Take a Ride!

THIS TIME
This Time
words by Kirkwood Brodie
music by Julian Harvey
I never looked for love This Time
For magic in the air This Time
No ribbons in my hair
Or dancing on the stairs
Or rainbows above me
No giddy girl on strings This Time
No waiting in the wings This Time
This miss was on a roll
Completely in control
Until he told me he loved me
I swore I’d never fall again
I’d never wait for someone’s call again
And now I’m living for it all again
To hear him say to me I’m lovely
He’s answering my prayers This Time
He promises he cares This Time
No need to wear my grin and bear again
For I have heard someone declare again
Somebody loves me This Time
