I heard you on my wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intent on tuning in on you If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through Oh-Oh They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine on new technology And now I understand the supernova scene Oh-Oh I met your children Oh-Oh What did you tell them? *Video killed the Radio star Video killed the Radio star **'Cause in my mind and in my car We can't rewind we've gone too far Woah! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh And now we meet in an abandoned studio You hear the playback and it seems so long ago And you remember the jingles used to go Oh-Oh You were the first one Oh-Oh You were the last one *Repeat **Repeat Too far! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Alright! *Repeat **Repeat Pictures came and broke your heart So put all the blame on VCR You are the radio staaaaar You are the radio staaaaar *Repeat *Repeat *Repeat Video killed the Radio star Video killed that Radio star, Yes it did |

Give me time
To realise my crime Let me love and steal I have danced Inside your eyes How can I be real Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Precious kisses, words that burn me Lovers never ask you why In my heart the fire's burning Choose my colour, find a star Precious people always tell me That's a step a step too far Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Words are few I have spoken I could waste a thousand years Wrapped in sorrow, words are token Come inside and catch my tears You've been talking but believe me If it's true you do not know This boy loves without a reason I'm prepared to let you go If it's love you want from me Then take it away Everything is not what you see It's over again (other version) i needed time to realize my crime It was let me love And steal I did dances inside my mind Now how can I be real Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry? No I don't really want to hurt you Then lovers always asked me: Why why why why In my mind memory's burning What's your favorite color of your favorite car? I took a step the step was learning That that's a step beyond a step too far Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry? No I don't really want to hurt you I told the truth but it was still a lie The words are few some are unspoken I could sleep four thousand years Man of sorrows word unbroken His sweat like blood came down like tears I've been talking but believe me I know that it's true Now that there's no more I don't know I'm in love and love's the reason I'm not prepared to let you let me go so If it's love you want then take all of me It's this love I want I can finally see Do I really want to hurt you? Do I really want to make you cry? Yes I suppose I want to hurt you You told the truth but it was still a lie |

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart Every time that I come near her I just lose my nerve as I've done from the start Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Do I have to tell the story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone Long before my tongue has tripped me Must I always be alone? Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on |

I am the son
and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and the heir of nothing in particular You shut your mouth how can you say I go about things the wrong way I am Human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does There's a club, if you like to go you could meet somebody who really loves you so you go, and you stand on your own and you leave on your own and you go home, and you cry and you want to die When you say it's gonna happen "now" well, when exactly do you mean? see I've already waited too long and all my hope is gone |

There's an army
On the dance floor It's a fashion With a gun my love In a room Without a door A kiss is not enough In Love my way It's a new road I follow where My mind goes They'd put us On a railroad They'd dearly Make us pay For laughing In their faces And making it our way There's emptiness Behind their eyes There's dust In all their hearts They just want to Steal us all And take us all apart But not in Love my way It's a new road I follow where My mind goes So swallow All your tears my love And put on Your new face You can never win or lose If you don't Run the race |

I have a picture pinned to my wall
an image of you and of me and we're laughing with love at it all But look at our life now, we're tattered and torn We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn *Hold me now, oooh Warm my heart Stay with me Let lovin' start, let lovin' start You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find So perhaps I should leave here, yeah yeah, go far away But you know that there's nowhere that I'd rather be than with you here today * Repeat (x2) oooh You ask if I love you, well, what can I say? You know that I do and that this is just one of those games that we play So I'll sing you a new song, please don't cry any more I'll even ask your forgiveness though I don't know just what I'm asking it for **Oh, oh, hold me now (hold me in your lovin' arms) Oh warm my heart (warm my cold and tired heart) Stay with me (Ooh stay with me) Let lovin' start, let lovin' start ** Repeat (x4) |

Don't tell me you don't know what love is
When you're old enough to know better WHEN YOU FIND STRANGE HANDS IN YOUR SWEATER When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions And I'm giving you a longing look Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book Chapter One we didn't really get along Chapter Two I think I fell in love with you You said you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter Three But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters Four, Five and Six The way you walk The way you talk, and try to kiss me, and laugh In four or five paragraphs All your compliments and your cutting remarks Are captured here in my quotation marks Don't tell me you don't know the difference Between a lover and a WRITER With my pen and my electric typewriter Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel |

I could escape this feeling
With my China Girl I feel a wreck without my Little China Girl I hear her heart beating Loud as thunder Saw their stars crashing I'm a mess without my Little China Girl Wake up mornings where's my Little China Girl I hear her heart's beating Loud as thunder Saw their stars crashing down I feel a-tragic like I'm Marlon Brando When I look at my china girl I could pretend that nothing really meant too much When I look at my china girl I stumble into town just like a sacred cow Visions of swastikas in my head Plans for everyone It's in the whites of my eyes My little china girl You shouldn't mess with me I'll ruin everything you are I'll give you television I'll give you eyes of blue I'll give you a man who want to rule the world And when I get excited My little china girl says Oh baby just you shut your mouth She says ... sh-sh-shhh |

How does it feel to treat me like you do?
When you've laid your hands upon me and told me who you are. I thought I was mistaken, I thought I heard your words. Tell me how do I feel. Tell me now, how do I feel. Those who came before me lived through their vocations from the past until completion, they'll turn away no more. And still I find it so hard to say what I need to say. But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me just how I should feel today. I see a ship in the harbor. I can and shall obey. But if it wasn't for your misfortune, I'd be a heavenly person today. And I thought I was mistaken, and I thought I heard you speak Tell me, how do I feel. Tell me now, how should I feel. Now I stand here waiting... I thought I told you to leave me when I walked down to the beach. Tell me how does it feel, when your heart grows cold, grows cold, cold. |

"Have you written anything lately?"
"Yeah, I guess." "Will you play it for me?" "You don't wanna hear it, it's not good." "No, I'm sure it is." "It's just that I wrote half of it when I was with Linda and the other half after we broke up so it's a little uneven, you know." "I don't mind, I'd like to hear it." "yeah alright." "Yeah...!" |

You don't know how much I need you.
While you're near me I don't feel blue. When we kiss I know you need me too. I can't believe I found a love. That's so pure and true. But it all was bullshit ! It was a god damn joke ! And when I think of you Linda, I hope you fucking choke ! I hope you're glad with what you've done to me. I lay in bed all day long feeling melancholy. You left me here all alone tears running constantly. Oh somebody kill please somebody kill me please! I'm on my knees, pretty pretty please kill me ! I want to die put a bullet in my head. |
