Video Killes The Radiostar

I heard you on the wireless back in fifty-two,
lying awake, intently tuning in on you.

If I was young,
it didn't stop you comin' through.
Ooh wah ooh ah.

They took the credit for your second symphony,
rewritten by machine on new technology.

And now I understand
the problems you can see.

Ooh wah ooh ah.
I met your children.

Ooh wah ooh ah.
What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Pictures came and broke your heart.
Aoh, a-a-ah aoh.

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:

Ooh wah ooh ah.
You were the first one.

Ooh wah ooh ah.
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.

Aoh, a-a-ah aoh.
Aoh, a-a-ah aoh.
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.

Pictures came and broke your heart.
Put the blame on VTR.

You are a video star.
You are a video 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.
Video killed the radio star.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
