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
