Video Killed The Radio Star
I heard you on the wireless back in ‘fifty-two
ˈaɪ ˈhɝd ˈju ˈɑn ðə ˈwaɪɚləs ˈbæk ˈɪn ˈfɪfti-ˈtʰu
Lying awake intently tuning in on you
ˈlaɪɪŋ əˈweɪk ɪnˈtʰɛntlɪ ˈtʰunɪŋ ˈɪn ˈɑn ˈju
If I was young it didn’t stop you coming through
ˈɪf ˈaɪ ˈwəz ˈjʌŋ ˈɪt ˈdɪdn̩t ˈstɑp ˈju ˈkʰʌmɪŋ ˈθru
Oh-a-oh
ˈoʊ ə ˈoʊ
They took the credit for your second symphony
ˈðeɪ ˈtʰʊk ðə ˈkrɛɾɪt ˈfɔr ˈjɔr ˈsɛkənd ˈsɪmfənɪ
Rewritten by machine on new technology
riˈrɪʔn̩ ˈbaɪ məˈʃin ˈɑn ˈnu tɛkˈnɑlədʒɪ
And now I understand the problems you can see
ən ˈnaʊ ˈaɪ ˌʌndɚˈstænd ðə ˈprɑbləmz ˈju kən ˈsi
Oh-a-oh
ˈoʊ ə ˈoʊ
I met your children
ˈaɪ ˈmɛt ˈjɔr ˈtʃɪɫdrən
Oh-a-oh
ˈoʊ ə ˈoʊ
What did you tell them?

Pictures came and broke your heart
ˈpʰɪktʃɚz ˈkʰeɪm ən ˈbroʊk ˈjɔr ˈhɑrt
Oh-a-a-a oh
ˈoʊ ə ə ə ˈoʊ
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
ən ˈnaʊ ˈwi ˈmit ˈɪn ən əˈbændənd ˈstuɾiˌoʊ
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
ˈwi ˈhɪr ðə ˈpleɪˌbæk ən ˈɪt ˈsimz ˈsoʊ ˈlɑŋ əˈɡoʊ
And you remember the jingles used to go:
ən ˈju rɪˈmɛmbɚ ðə ˈdʒɪŋɡəɫz ˈjus tə ˈɡoʊ |
Oh-a-oh
ˈoʊ ə ˈoʊ
You were the first one
ˈju ˈwɝ ðə ˈfɝst ˈwʌn
Oh-a-oh
ˈoʊ ə ˈoʊ
You were the last one
ˈju ˈwɝ ðə ˈlæst ˈwʌn

In my mind and in my car
ˈɪn ˈmaɪ ˈmaɪnd ən ˈɪn ˈmaɪ ˈkʰɑr
We can’t rewind, we’ve gone too far
ˈwi ˈkʰænt riˈwaɪnd | ˈwiv ˈɡɑn ˈtʰu ˈfɑr
Oh-a-a-a oh
ˈoʊ ə ə ə ˈoʊ

Put the blame on VTR…
