I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two Lying awake intent at tuning it 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 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 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 My radio star You are my radio star You are my radio star You are my radio star (video k**ed the radio star) You are my radio star (video k**ed the radio star) You are my radio star (video k**ed the radio star) Video k**ed the radio star Pictures came and broke your heart. Put the blame on VCR In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
