I heard you on my wireless back in '52

I lie awake intent on 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 (makes wierd noises)

Rewritten by machines on new technology

And now I understand the supernova scene

oh-a-oh

I met your children

oh-a-oh

What did you tell them

Video killed the radio star (X 2)

In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far

oh-a-oh (x2)

And now we meet in an abandoned studio

You 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 (X 2)

In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far

oh, yeah

Video killed the radio star (X 2)

In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far

Pictures came and broke your heart

Put all the blame on VCR

Crowd:

Oh, radio star (X 2)

Video killed the radio star (repeat 9 times)
