[00:02.31]Don't take away our radio
[00:11.25]We need a place a place to go
[00:16.28]Where we can play our favourite shows
[00:21.32]Don't take away our radio
[00:25.82]When I first heard the word about BBC 6
[00:28.32]I thought this is absurd is the BBC sick
[00:31.37]It rocked the airwaves enough to keep me seasick
[00:33.84]But it's the first to get sunk can we believe it
[00:36.45]And I thought pirates were meant to be the problem
[00:38.57]But obviously not 'cause your lot's already got some
[00:41.46]Doctor doctor what's your option
[00:43.79]What are you going to drop from the roster to cost cut
[00:46.40]The Asian Network plays the best work
[00:48.57]Of a strain of the nation that strains to get heard
[00:51.60]And now you're severing the nerves of a massive demographic
[00:54.65]It's not a very clever tactic is it
[00:56.54]The last bastions of unsigned action
[00:59.18]Independents depend on it for traction
[01:01.64]Ask Lamacq or Bobby Friction for his reaction
[01:04.26]My prediction isn't one of satisfaction
[01:06.87]Do the maths it's a simple subtraction
[01:08.90]Take away the stations and you chase away the talent
[01:11.84]Listening figures isn't your biggest purpose
[01:14.01]It's first and foremost to provide public service
[01:17.01]I'm not saying other stations are worthless
[01:19.26]But adverts are adverse and make me nervous
[01:21.93]We deserve to have a say in what we'd like to see
[01:24.45]I mean after all we pay the licence fee
[01:27.20]Don't take away our favourite shows
[01:32.06]Don't take away our radio
[01:37.17]Don't take away our favourite shows
[01:42.15]Don't take away our radio
[01:46.74]You need to appeal to the people that feel John Peel
[01:50.31]And want to keep it real
[01:51.59]So please pretty Beeb we appeal for a new deal
[01:54.84]We'd be pleased if the spiel was repealed
[01:56.81]D B sees what's needed to escape from the danger zone
[01:59.64]More DAB radios in the nation's homes
[02:02.43]The audience is there they just need connecting
[02:04.73]In the same way your arrangement needs correcting
[02:07.50]Next thing on the list that's vexing
[02:09.30]Bloody everybody is you spending money like it's never ending
[02:12.41]Even a yellow bellied Teletubby could tell us
[02:14.52]It's crazy Laa Laa Lady Gaga
[02:17.18]Pay me half of what you pay to Clarkson
[02:19.46]I'll be laughing like I can't keep a straight face straight up
[02:22.43]If there's a budgetary deficit to make up
[02:24.71]Then wake up and give Big Jeremy a pay cut
[02:27.65]Don't take away our favourite shows
[02:32.72]Don't take away our radio
[02:37.80]Don't take away our favourite shows
[02:42.81]Don't take away our radio
[02:47.79]There's enough talent out here for like forty channels
[02:50.43]But we only get to hear the top forty sellers
[02:52.83]You're running it like Basil does to Fawlty Towers
[02:55.19]Literally ask Andrew Sachs he could talk for hours
[02:57.95]About how he was pushed about as Manuel
[03:00.18]Then Johnny Ross and Russell Brand did it as well
[03:02.66]Man Johnny Rotten wouldn't slag the living hell
[03:04.94]Out of an old man's grandkid on his cell
[03:07.11]Well if Russell Brand and the six million dollar man are the cream of the crop then you can hang the DJ
[03:13.11]Radio 1 sweet for teenagers
[03:15.47]Radio 2 great if you're really ancient
[03:18.24]Radio 3 for those of a refined taste
[03:20.72]Radio 4 all talking and giant brains
[03:23.06]Radio 5 only sport fans are tuned in
[03:25.65]Radio 6 it's the music we're losing
[03:28.31]Don't take away our radio
[03:33.33]We will complain until you know
[03:38.43]It's a mistake I'm afraid so
[03:43.43]Don't take away our radio
