And Malibu and whisky
And some ungodly slop

It's not that I can't achieve it
It's just that I don't care
All I want from life is a bit of fun
And low-maintenance hair Ashley Chittock – Malibu And Whisky

A first for an Ashley Chittock song – a punchline. Low maintenance hair is something of an understatement…

Cause I can't concentrate on my work
Without needing a drink
And I'll carry on till I am dead
And my eyes take their last blink Ashley Chittock – Malibu And Whisky

NB: I’m not actually an alcoholic. Or even a big drinker. I’m just going H.A.M. with the artistic licence at this point.

The biggest, dumbest song on the Malibu And Whiskey EP. It was written with the intent of making a stupid drinking song that drunkards would be able to sing along to in a pub.

I think I succeeded.

And how I thought I was kind Ashley Chittock – Don't Stop The Show

This 3am curtain call came too soon
To solve this problem of mine Ashley Chittock – Don't Stop The Show

This song was written in the early hours, when the narrator is trying to use the medium of songwriting to express his worries. He needs to go to bed, but he feels like he needs closure somehow before he can rest.
