Video Killed the Radio Star - The Buggles

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two Lying awake intent at tuning it 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. 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. My radio star. You are my radio star You are my radio star You are my radio star (video killed the radio star) You are my radio star (video killed the radio star) You are my radio star (video killed the radio star) Video killed the radio star. Pictures came and broke your heart. Put the blame on VCR. In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far.

All of those wild American bilinguals Who'll talk to you in Paris of their lonely lives School days and last days out there in the Midwest They climb on the liners to rejoin their wives Walking down boulevards electric eyes Would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size Let them be lonely and say you don't care Astroboy... [(I'm watching the proles on parade)] Astroboy... [(I'm watching the proles on parade)] Ulla with blond hair Would stand by your side And the friends who were hungry Could swallow your pride Chromium headsets, their video screens Would show pictures of helplessness Old kings and queens Radio stations that fade as in dust All their transmitters are crumbling with rust Let them be broken and say you don't care Astroboy... [(I'm watching the proles on parade)] Astroboy... [(I'm watching the proles on parade)] Astroboy... [(I'm watching the proles on parade)] Let them be broken and say you don't care Astroboy... [(I'm watching the proles on parade)]
