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 |
|
They took the credit for your second symphony |
|
Rewritten by machines on new technology |
|
And now I understand the problems you can see |
|
I met your children |
|
What did you tell them? |
|
Video killed the radio star |
|
And now we meet in an abandoned studio |
|
We hear the playback and it seemed so long ago |
|
Do you remember the jingles used to go |
|
You were the first one |
|
You were the last one |
|
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 VCR |
|
(Video killed the radio star) |
