I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two Lying awake intent on 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 and 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 k**ed the radio star Video k**ed the radio star Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh 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 Oho, you were the 1st born Oho, you were the last born Video k**ed the radio star Video k**ed the radio star In my mind and in my car We can't rewind we've gone to far Oh - a - oh oh oh Oh - a - oh oh oh ~repeat~ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! radio star! Oh-a-oh Oh-a-oh Oh-a-oh
