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
You are a radio star.
You are a radio star.
