Video Killed The Radio Star - Bruce Woolley and Polly Scattergood with The Radio Science Orchestra, Bruce Woolley, Polly Scattergood

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

I saw your picture in the magazines I read

Imagined footlights on the wooden fence ahead

Sometimes I thought you were controlling me instead

I met your children

What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star

Pictures came and took your heart

Mmm, yeah

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 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 too far

Oh yeah

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 took your heart

Put the blame on VCR

Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star
