I heard you on my wireless back in fifty two
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 symphonyRe-written by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see, oh a oh
I met our children, oh a oh
What did you tell them?Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio starPictures 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 ohYour were the first one, oh a oh
You were the last oneVideo killed the radio star
Video killed the radio starIn my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Oh a a a oh
Oh a a a ohVideo killed the radio star
Video killed the radio starIn 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 VCRYou are a radio star
You are a radio starVideo killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
