Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh I heard you on my wireless back in 52 Dying awake and tenor tuning on you If I was young it didn't stop you coming through Oh-oh-oh They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine and new technology And now I understand the problems you conceived Oh-oh-oh I met your children Oh-oh-oh What did you tell them? Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Pictures came and broke your heart Oh-oh-oh And now we meet in an abandoned studio We hear the playback and it seems so long ago And you remember the changes used to go Oh-oh-oh You were the first one Oh-oh-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-oh-oh Yeah, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh
