I heard you on the wireless back in '52 Lying awake intent at tuning in on you If I was young, It didn′t stop you coming through Oh-a They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine and new technology And now I understand the problems you can see Oh-a oh-a I met your children Oh-a oh-a What did you tell them? Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Pictures came and broke your heart Oh-a-a-a you are a radio star you are a radio star
I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young, It didn′t stop you coming through
Oh-a
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
Oh-a oh-a
I met your children
Oh-a oh-a
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a
you are a radio star
you are a radio star
