[Verse 1: Matt, *Sarah*]
I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intently tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
*Oh, whoa oh*
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine, a new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
*Oh, whoa oh*
I met your children
*Oh, whoa oh*
What did you tell them?
[Chorus 1: Sarah, *Matt*]
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
*Pictures came and broke your heart*
Oh, oh oh oh oh
[Verse 2: Matt, *Sarah*]
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, whoa oh*
You were the first one
*Oh, whoa oh*
You were the last one
[Chorus 2: Sarah, *Matt*]
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*
Oh, oh oh oh oh
[Chorus 3: Sarah, *Matt*]
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*
*Put the blame on VTR*
[Outro: Sarah]
You are the radio star
You are the radio star
You are the radio star
You are the radio star
