Buggles - Video killed the radio star 1979
I heard you on the wireless back in 52
lying awake intent a tuning in on you
if I was young it didn't stop you coming through
They took the credit for your second symphony
re-written by machine and new technology
and now I understand the problems you can see
Oh oh -- I met your children
oh oh -- what did you tell them
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
pictures came and broke your heart
we can't rewind we've gone too far
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
we hear the playback and it seems so long ago
and you remember the jingle used to go
Oh oh -- you were the first one
oh oh -- you were the last one
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
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
(Instrumental)
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
look I'll play my VCR
Oh radio star
Oh 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
video killed the radio star
