[Intro]
Dear Auntie Beeb
[Chorus]
Don't take away our radio
We need a place - a place to go
Where we can play our favourite shows
Don't take away our radio
[Verse 1]
When I first heard the word about BBC 6 I thought
"This is absurd, is the BBC sick?"
It rocked the airwaves enough to keep me seasick
But it's the first to get sunk - can we believe it?
And I thought pirates were meant to be the problem
But obviously not 'cause your lot's already got some
Doctor, doctor, what's your option
What are you going to drop from the roster to cost cut?
The Asian Network plays the best work
Of a strain of the nation that strains to get heard
And now you're severing the nerves of a massive demographic
It's not a very clever tactic, is it?
The last bastions of unsigned action
Independents depend on it for traction
Ask Lamacq or Bobby Friction for his reaction
My prediction isn't one of satisfaction
Do the maths, it's a simple subtraction:
Take away the stations and you chase away the talent
Listening figures isn't your biggest purpose
It's first and foremost to provide public service
I'm not saying other stations are worthless
But adverts are adverse and make me nervous
We deserve to have a say in what we'd like to see
I mean after all, we pay the licence fee
