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 through. |
|
Oh-a 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-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 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 oh |
|
You were the first one. |
|
Oh-a 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 to far |
|
Oh-a-aho oh, |
|
Oh-a-aho 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, put the blame on VCR. |
|
You are a radio star. |
|
You are a radio star. |
|
Video killed the radio star. |
|
Video killed the radio star. |
|
Video killed the radio star. |
|
Video killed the radio star. |
|
Video killed the radio star. (You are a radio star.) |
