Video Killed The Radio Star

[Verse 1]

I heard you on the wireless back in '52

Lying awake, intent at 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

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Oh-a oh

I met your children

Oh-a oh

What did you tell them?

[Chorus 1]

Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star

Pictures came and broke your heart

Oh-a-a-a oh

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Oh-a oh

You were the first one

Oh-a oh

You were the last one

[Chorus 2]

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

Oh-a-a-oh oh

Oh-a-a-oh oh

[Chorus 3]

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 VTR1

[Bridge]

You are a radio star

You are a radio star

[Chorus]

Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star

[Outro]

Video killed the radio star (You are)

Video killed the radio star (A radio star)

Video killed the radio star (You are)

Video killed the radio star (A radio star)

Video killed the radio star (You are)

Video killed the radio star (A radio star)

Video killed the radio star (You are)

Video killed the radio star (A radio star)

[Outro (included on album version)]

Oh-a oh

Oh-a oh

Oh-a oh

Oh-a oh

1. Video Tape Recorder. Sources often erroneously have "VCR" (video cassette recorder) which wasn't yet a thing when the song was written.
