 Song For Phil Daoust
 by Tim Minchin
This  is a song for Phil Daoust:
 occasional Guardian  Newspaper journal-oust.
I  never ever ever mentioned  your name,
 or the review  that you wrote, when I was new  to this game.
But  now the time has come,
 I think I've dealt  with my feelings at last.
 I really  wanna forgive ya Phil,
 yeah I wanna  put the past in the past-a
 Oh and as this  is such a big tour,
 I thought  I outta take the opportunity.
 'Cause there's a pretty  good chance somebody out  there will know you,
Maybe  they would pass on a message  for me.
Just  wanna say, Phil Daoust,  occasional Guardian  Newspaper journal-oust,
 That it's been  three years since you wrote it,
 and time  is very healing.
 But I still  wanna cut big chunks of flesh out of your stupid face
 and make  your children watch while I force you to eat them.
Yeah  I wanna  make your children watch you eat your own face-meat.
This  is my Phil  Doust Song,
Everybody sing  along,
La  la la la la la la,
 I hope  one of your family' members dies.
 Phil, Ding  Dang Dong.
I've  written you this special  song,
to  help you get the attention  -
 you obviously, desperately  lack.
 And I know that you're a smart man,
 and with such a fine mind, I guess it has to be hard-
 To resist throwing narcissistic, intellectual tantrums in the supermarket isles of
 your self-regard.
 Just wanna say, Phil Daoust, I know it must be really hard to be a journal-oust.
 While a deadlines always looming, and the pressure to be entertaining.
 So maybe you should quit and get a job that you'd be better at - like killing
 yourself, you fucking cunt.
This is  my  Phil  Doust  Song,
 Everybody sing along,
 Tra la la la la la la,
 I hope something you love catches on fire.
 Phil, Ding Dang Dong.
 I've written you this special song,
 to show how far I've come along -
 in my efforts to be more mature in the face of negative feedback.
 You fucking poo-face.
