I heard you on the wireless |
Back in '52 |
Lying awake intently tuning in on you |
If I was young it didn't |
Stop you coming through |
Oh-a-oh |
They took the credit |
For your second symphony |
Rewritten by machine on new technology |
And now I understand |
The problems you can see |
Oh-a-oh I met your children |
Oh-a-oh what did you tell them? |
Video killed the radio star |
Video killed the radio star |
Pictures came and broke your heart |
Oh-a-a-a oh |
And now we meet in an abandoned studio |
We hear the playback |
And it seems so long ago |
And you remember the jingles used to go: |
Oh-a-oh you were the first one |
Oh-a-oh you were the last one |
Video killed the radio star |
Video killed the radio star |
In my mind and in my car |
We can't rewind, we've gone too far |
Oh-a-a-a oh oh-a-a-a oh |
Video killed the radio star |
Video killed the radio star |
In my mind and in my car |
We can't rewind, we've gone too far |
Pictures came and broke your heart |
Put the blame on VTR |
(Ohhhhhh radio star) |
(Ohhhhhh radio star) |
Video killed the radio star |
Video killed the radio star |
Video killed the radio star |
Video killed the radio star |
(You arrrrre the radio star) |
(You arrrrre the radio star) |
(You arrrrre the radio star) |
(You arrrrre) |
