[Intro]
Oh-a, oh-a
Oh-a, oh-a, oh-ah
Oh-a, oh-a, oh-ah

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

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-a, oh-a
I met your children
Oh-a, oh-a
What did you tell them?

[Chorus]
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a-oh, uh, uh, uh

[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]
Oh-a, oh-a
You wеre the first one
Oh-a, oh-a
You arе the last one

[Chorus]
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-a-oh, uh, uh, yeah
Oh-a-a-a-oh, oh

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
