I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming throughOh a ohThey took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can seeOh-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 heartAnd now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to goOh-a oh
You were the first one
Oh-a oh
You were the last oneVideo killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone to farThe radio starYou are my radio star
You are my radio starVideo killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio starPictures came and broke your heart
Put the blame on VCR
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone to far
