Video Killed The Radio Star

Video Killed The Radio Star - Robert Jansen

Oh-a-oh

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

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

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 broke your heart

Put the blame on VTR

You are the radio star

You are the radio star

Radio star

Radio star

Radio star

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 broke your heart

Put the blame on VTR
