I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two

Lying 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.

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



oho, you were the 1st born

Oho, you were the last born



Video killed the radio star

Video Killed the radio star

in my mind and in my car

we cant rewind we've gone to far

oh - a - oh oh oh

oh - a - oh oh oh



~repeat~



aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! radio star!



oh-a-oh

oh-a-oh

oh-a-oh
