The video for the song has two versions. The banned version shows the band playing in an abandoned London Underground Tunnel. The rest of the video is about business man who stops a homeless man getting a pound from off the ground. The homeless man throws a marble which a child in a red hoodie follows onto the train tracks. The business man follows him and finds out the child is a demon and the demon holds him while a train runs him down. The narrative of the music video bears a striking similarity to the climax of cult horror film, Don't Look Now. The clean version is exactly the same, but the other scenes are cut out, showing the band throughout the video.
