i heard you on the wireless back in 52

I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intently tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Oh, oh,
They took the credit for your second symphony
Re-written by machine, a new technology
And now I understand the problems you could see
Oh, oh,
I met your children,
Oh, oh,
What did you tell them

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh, oh, 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, oh
You were the first one
Oh, 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 too far
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, 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 too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put the blame on VTR

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