Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus 1]
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star

Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh

[Chorus 3]
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

[Outro]
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)
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the 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
