[Verse 1: David McCormack]
I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intently tuning in on you
Though I was young, it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a oh-a
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machines on new technology
And now I understand the problems you could see

[Pre-Chorus 1: David McCormack]
Oh-a oh-a
You were the first one
Oh-a oh-a
You were the last one

[Chorus 1: David McCormack]
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a-oh

[Verse 2: David McCormack]
And now we meet in an abandoned studio (Oh-a)
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago (Oh-oh-oh-oh-a)
Do you remember the jingles used to go?

[Pre-Chorus 2: David McCormack]
Oh-a oh-a
You were the first one
Oh-a oh-a
You were the last one

[Chorus 2: David McCormack]
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a-oh
Oh-a-a-a-oh

[Chorus 3: David McCormack]
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 VCR

[Outro: David McCormack]
You are a radio star
You are a radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
