[Verse 1]
I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through ohoh
[Verse 2]
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machines and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see ohoh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I met your children ohoh
What did you tell them?
[Chorus]
Video k**ed the radio star
[Verse 3]
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
Do you remember the jingles used to go ohoh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You were the first one
You were the last one
[Chorus]
Video k**ed the radio star
[Hook]
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 VCR
[Hook]
In my mind and in my car
(Video k**ed the radio star)
We can't rewind we've gone too far
(Video k**ed the radio star)
Pictures came and broke your heart
(Video k**ed the radio star)
Put the blame on VCR
(Video k**ed the radio star)
