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
