Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh-a, oh-a

Oh-a, oh-a, oh-a

Oh-a, oh-a, oh-a

[Verse 1]

I heard you on my 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-a

They took the credit for your second symphony

Rewritten by machine on new technology

And now, I understand the problems you could see

[PreChorus]

Oh-a, oh-a

I met your children

Oh-a, oh-a

What did you tell them?

[Chorus]

Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star

Pictures came and broke your heart

Oh-a-a-a-oh, uh, uh, uh

[Verse 2]

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

[PreChorus]

Oh-a, oh-a

You were the first one

Oh-a, oh-a

You are the last one

[Chorus]

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, uh, uh, yeah

Oh-a-a-a-oh, oh

[Outro]

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
