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, Oh They took the credit for your second symphony Re-written by machine, a new technology And now I understand the problems you could see Oh, Oh I met your children Oh, Oh What did you tell them
Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Pictures came and broke your heart Oh, Oh, 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, Oh You were the first one Oh, 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, Oh Oh, Oh, 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
You are a radio star You are a radio star Video killed the radio star
