Video
Singer Jarvis Cocker recalled of the video: "It was made by someone who claimed to have done the lighting on Chariots of Fire, which impressed us a great deal at the time... we could only afford one roll of film, so he had to keep winding the film backwards and forwards for different bits of the song. I converted an inspection pit, in an abandoned warehouse across the road from the factory where I was living, into a sunken bedroom... For some reason, there was a horse skeleton in the building so that ended up in the film too."
