A Little Whisky
Clare Teal / Amanda L Field
December chills me
In a not unpleasant way
The winter sun becomes
Your guiding light
And your voice thrills me
When you telephone to say
You’ve missed me and
You’re coming home tonight
To keep the cold at bay
I’ll make a cassoulet
And we’ll reminisce the
Good times old and new
Then we’ll find that comfy seat
And maybe something sweet
And put the world to rights
Until the early light peeps through
And so together in our fireside cocoon
We’ll smile to see our wishes coming true
Cause the only thing I need
For a perfect Christmas Eve
A little whisky some chocolate and you
Cause the only thing I need
For a perfect Christmas Eve
A little whisky some chocolate and you

Skating on Thin Ice
Clare Teal & Amanda Field
One Christmas night I met you and you swept me off my feet
And you threw my foolish heart into a spin
You’re still sweepin’ and a spinnin’ every other girl you meet
And your lame excuse is driving me to gin
Oh yes the ice you’re skating on is getting thin
Your “I’m just friendly at parties” tune
Ain’t gonna cut it no more
If your befriending don’t start ending any time soon
I’m gonna have to show you the door
You’re pretty free with that mistletoe
My funny valentine
Well you can kiss my sweet - lips for the very last time
And shove that mistletoe where the sun ain’t gonna shine
Slow down babe – you’re skating on thin ice
Your interest in stockings isn’t healthy
Whether they be Christmassy or not
And if the stockings – if they happen to be wealthy
Well your interest it doubles on the spot
Our relationship is a pantomime
No longer a tour de force
If you’d ever bothered to marry me I’d ask for a divorce
Prince charming wouldn’t treat me like the back end of a horse
Slow down babe – you’re skating on thin ice
Your behaviour causes great embarrassment
The way you throw yourself at other girls
In fact I’d say it’s bordering on harassment
I have to walk away before my toes begin to curl
The advent of your latest yuletide antics
Have left my friends and family aghast
And so whilst others yearn for poets and romantics
I’m dealing with the ghost of Christmas past
One night I’ll glance at the window pane
And what is this I’ll see
Your jealous green-eyed chilly face just staring back at me
Well Ho Ho Ho I’ve given Santa’s little friend your key
That’s what comes - of skating on thin ice
Too many nights alone I’ve trimmed the Christmas Tree
It’s taken three wise men to learn it’s time to set you free
You might’ve knocked the stuffing - but you can’t take the Christmas out of me

The Feeling’s Right
Clare Teal & Mark Frith
It could be raining but that doesn’t bother me
Who’s complaining I’m finding another me
I’m for changing cause we should be having
The time of our lives
Can’t you see my heart’s on a roll and I
I’d willingly I’d give you the world babe
It’s Christmas Eve and we should be having
The time of our lives
It don’t matter anyhow
Cos all we have is here and now
Feeling free without a care in the world
It’s Christmas time and the feeling’s right
Gonna have a great big party tonight
Gonna close my eyes say a prayer,
Make a wish and it’s gonna come true
It’s gonna come true
Just look around, the night’s all aglow and tho
I’m on the ground I could reach for the stars babe
This holiday you know we’re gonna be having
The time of our lives
Nothing matters anyhow
Cause all we have is here and now
Feeling free without a care in the world
It’s Christmas time and the feeling’s right...
People are singing, the bells will be ringing
We’re having the time of our lives
This is the feeling, it’s time for believing
We’re having the time of our lives
It’s Christmas time and the feeling’s right...
(Repeat till fade)
