Lyrics

I heard you on the wireless back in '52 Lying awake intent on tuning into you If I was young it didn't stop me coming through (Oh-wa-oh) They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine and new technology And now I understand the problems you can see (Oh-wa-oh) I met your children (Oh-wa-oh) What did you tell them? Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Pictures came and broke your heart Pictures came and broke your heart Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star 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-wa-oh) You were the first one (Oh-wa-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 Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star You are the radio star You are 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 Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star
