I heard you on the wireless back in '52

I'd lie awake intent in 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

Rewritten by machine, a new technology

And now I understand the problems you can see



Oh, oh

I saw your children

Oh, oh

What did you tell them?



Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star

In my mind and in my car

Oh, uh-oh, oh, oh



So now we sit in an abandoned studio

I hear the playback and it seems so long ago

Do you remember the jingles used to go



Oh, oh

You were the first one

Oh, oh

You'll be 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 to far

Oh, uh-uh, oh, oh

Oh, uh-uh, 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 to far

Pictures came and broke your heart

We put the blame on VCR



Oh, ahhh radio star

Oh, ahhh radio star



Video killed the radïo star
