lyrics

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake in bed then tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through

They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.

I met your children. What did you tell them?

I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and you.

And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember how the jingles used to go.

You were the first one. You'll be the last one.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Pictures came and broke your heart.
Pictures came and broke your heart.

Oh but babies cry, I watch them grow.
They'll learn much more than I'll never know.
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I met your children. What did you tell them?

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.
we can't rewind we've gone to far.
