He’s Phil

He’s the first to arrive and the last to leave
Hey man, what’s goin on?
Has a political mind you’d have to see to believe
Ah Mr. trump, Mr. Biden
He flies the speakers and he stands on tables
Yeah can I get some AC over here?
If your monitors suck he’ll give you a new cable
Can I get a new cable
He’s a thoughtful guy with a penchant for tales
Ahhhhh
Likes good music, his guitar playing wales
Guitar wailing
Though he doesn’t spend much time on the stage
Unless I gotta crawl around and fix stuff
He’s more important he’s all the rage

Fog machines and black backdrops
He sets the stage like he’s planting crops
Sound and lights and good old PA
Phil’s always there to save the day

He’s got the looks that kill 
He’s Phil, he’s Phil 
He’s Phil
If the band sounds good
Slip him a bill cause he’s Phil
He’s Phil
He loves his job like an artist paints
He’s a master class, he’s a real saint
He knows what to do about everything 
He’s Phil 
He’s Phil

He mixes the sound that the band puts out
He mixes the sound that the band puts out 
Handles song requests he’s a real Boy Scout
No Wagon Wheel, No Brown Eyed Girl
Spends too much time on his phone
Justin Hawkins rides again
But not to worry he’s always home
Not to worry he’s always home

While the bands a playin he zips and bobs
He loves to twist those dirty knobs
Checking the sound from all possible locations
He’s chosen this work to be his vocation

He’s got the looks that kill 
He’s Phil, he’s Phil 
He’s Phil
If the band sounds good
Slip him a bill cause he’s Phil
He’s Phil
He loves his job like an artist paints
He’s a master class, he’s a real saint
He knows what to do about everything 
He’s Phil 
He’s Phil
He’s Phil

When the crowds are done and have left the place
You might see a smoke hanging from his face
He’s got a special kind of temperament
He packs it up he’s roadie bent
He drags around the mix console
They’re joined at the hip like jelly in the roll
His hands are dirty and he sleeps on the floor
These modern day conventions are such a bore
He’s Phil
He’s Phil

He drives around in an old Honda car
Pppppoppp
It’s amazing it’s running it’s driven so far
Can I get a lift? Can I get a boost
Not a man of comfort or to be tied down
Not gonna be tied down
He’s slept nights in this car, no complaints to be found
Zzzzzzz

On his rare days off you’ll see him out fishin’
Likes Trout and salmon, he’s on a mission
He’s a mystery, could be anywhere
When the show starts you’ll find him there

He’s got the looks that kill 
He’s Phil, he’s Phil 
He’s Phil
If the band sounds good
Slip him a bill cause he’s Phil
He’s Phil
He loves his job like an artist paints
He’s a master class, he’s a real saint
He knows what to do about everything 
He’s Phil 
He’s Phil
He’s Phil
He’s Phil
He’s Phil
