Video Killed The Radio Star Songtext
von Young London

I heard you on the wireless back in ′52
Lying awake intently tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through

They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see

I met your children
What did you tell them?

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:

You were the first one
You were the last one

In my mind and in my car
We can′t rewind, we've gone too far

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 VTR...


You are the radio star
You are the radio star
You are the radio star
You are the radio star
