Lyrics

I heard you on my wireless back in '52 Lying awake, intent at tuning in on you If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through Oh-a, oh-a They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine and new technology And now I understand the problems you can see Oh-a oh-a I met your children Oh-a oh-a 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-a You were the first one Oh-a oh-a You are 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-aho oh Oh-a-aho 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 VCR You are a radio star You are a radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star
