heard you on my wireless back in fiftey-two
Lying awake intently tuning in on you
If I were young it didn't stop you coming through

They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see

I met your children
What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart

And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seemes so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go OH ah oh

You were the first one
Maybe the last

Video killed the radio star
" "
In my mind and in my car
oui can't rewind we've gone too far
Oh oh oh ah oh-Oh oh oh ah oh
Video killed the radio star
" "
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone two far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put all the blame on VCR
