Video Killed The Radio Star

Laszlo Ken

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?
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

Oh-a oh
You were the first one
Oh-a 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-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho 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 
Video killed the radio star 
Video killed the radio star 
Video killed the radio star 
Repeat 
Video killed the radio star  (You are a radio star)
