Oxford Thommo

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford Thommo?
Shouldn't he be gently let go
To save
Some money?
That might just be a better way
To economise that's all right
With me,
With me

Why would you close a station down
Specially when it's heartland BBC
Can't you see
You're making a mistake?

Who gives a fuck about a radio station
Well it seems the entire nation
Do-es
Beca-use
6 Music's demographic
Isn't served by commercial static
Or other
Beeb stations

Take your opinions: they're all crass
Take your proposals Shove them up your ass
Stop pretending We'd be served
By other stations How'd'you have the nerve?

Why would you lie 'bout how much it is loved?
Why would you lie 'bout how little you'll save
Why would you lie 'bout anything at all
How'd'you sleep nights? How'd you have the gall?
Well we're gonna still save 6 Music.

Take your obsession with TV
Take your trashing of our BBC
Stop the cuts and stop the rot
That you're talking though you say you're not

Why'd'you pretend you have to turn it off
Why'd'you make up that incoherent stuff?
Why'd'you pretend an option is a must?
We won't let you; we'll all tell the Trust
Why'd'you ignore our protestations
Close our best loved radio station?
We'll stop you, and we'll save 6 Music.
