Video Killed the Radio Star Songtext
von Weston

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 machines on new technology
And now I understand the supernova scene
Oh a oh

I met your children
Oh a oh
What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
Oh, a-a-a oh


And now we meet in an abandoned studio
You 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 killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Victories came and broke your heart
Oh, a-a-a oh
Oh, a-a-a oh

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
Oh, a-a-a oh

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Victories came and broke your heart
Oh, a-a-a oh
Oh, a-a-a oh


Oh, a-a-a oh
Oh, a-a-a oh
