Ming The Mong
Best Birthday Present


Coldplay, Travis, Stereophonics, Embrace, Keane, The Bravery
Manic Street Preachers all Middle Of The Road I want to drive an arctic lorry
Best birthday present was a gun, such a shame it was a Thunder Eagle Three
and not a gleaming Smith and Wesson

Des O'Conner, Jonathon Ross, Victoria Wood, I know I wouldn't
Richard and Judy, easy meat, I walk, I stalk their Hampstead street today
Best birthday present was a gun, such a shame it was a Thunder Eagle Three
and not a gleaming Smith and Wesson, such a shame

Parkhurst Prison on the Isle Of Wight maybe out of mind and out of site
You can lock me up and throw away the key but you can't and won't ever sanitise me
Best birthday present was a gun, such a shame it was a Thunder Eagle Three
and not a gleaming and Wesson, shame

Two mags, trigger lock, case and book, eightyfive percent excellent condition
I'd take it down the chemist and something tells me I won't be paying for my prescription
this time
I don't pay for it anyway

Too many people on my high street, too many people on the trains
Too many people in the doctors surgery, too many people in suits
Best birthday present was a gun, such a shame it was a Thunder Eagle Three
and not a gleaming Smith and Wesson, big shame

Sweaty gelignite, sweaty bollocks, some people like Ovaltine, I like Horlicks
and a bedtime story by Andy McNab with a gallon of Andrews so I won't shit bricks
Bring me the head of Joe Pasquali, he's not funny!
A silly voice is no substitute for a complete lack of wit

All I ever wanted was a semi-detached in Thornton Heath
Is that so much to covert?
Where's the love? Where is the love?

My best birthday present was a gun, such a shame is was the wrong one (x2)
