A fully black and white video. The band are playing in the desert, in front of a huge oil tanker or something. Strangely enough, sometimes
it's there... sometimes it isn't. The
camera changes to a kind of radar screen and homes in on the band from time to time. That's basically all it is. Apparently, the location of the video
was also used in Star Trek, and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.
We're now full into The Bends territory, and the band have sorted their looks out. Thom's got his hair chopped, as has Colin. They
don't scare me anymore. Towards the end of the video, it starts to rain. But we're not talking a light drizzle, though. We're talking absolute flood. The band end up soaking
but keep playing.
"Shot by David Mould at Vasqez Rocks in California, it featured the band playing out in the desert in front of a water tanker. As the song unfolded, the band were
soaked by falling rain, and thereby hung an amusing little tale. "When we turned on the rain machine, we didn't realise
you could warm up the water beforehand so the whole band ended up being doused in ice cold water and getting flue.
Colin was shaking so much I thought he was going to keel over." - The Interview Booklet
This video is still shown from time to time on UK music channels.
