Video Killed The Radio Star
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
I saw your picture in the magazines I read
Imagined footlights on the wooden fence ahead
Sometimes I thought you were controlling me instead
I met your children
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and took your heart
Mmm, yeah
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember how the jingles used to go
You were the first one
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 yeah
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 took your heart
Put the blame on VCR
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Lying awake intently tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
I saw your picture in the magazines I read
Imagined footlights on the wooden fence ahead
Sometimes I thought you were controlling me instead
I met your children
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and took your heart
Mmm, yeah
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember how the jingles used to go
You were the first one
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 yeah
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 took your heart
Put the blame on VCR
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
