![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

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-a-oh |
![]() ![]() |
They took the credit |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
For your second symphony |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Rewritten by machine on 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-a-a oh oh-a-a-a oh |

Put the blame on VTR |
