Video Killed The Radio Star

Jessica Brando


I heard you 
On the wireless 
Back in Fifty Two 
Lying awake intent 
At tuning in on you 
If I was young 
It didn't stop you 
Coming through 

Oh-a oh 

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 

I met your children 
Oh-a oh 

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 oh 

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 

Oh-a, oh 

You were the first one 
Oh-a, 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 to far 
Oh-a-aho oh 
Oh-a-aho oh 

Video killed the radio star 
Video killed the radio star 

In my mind and in my car 
We can't rewind 
We've gone to far 
Pictures came 
And broke your heart 
Put the blame on VTR 

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 
(You are a radio star)
