It's quite heave on the production side but I don't think it's overproduced, still sounds very tasteful to me. The album is probably a bit too complex for a band associated with the brit pop scene.
@GlitcHead the creepy guy has a wedding band which is visible when he clips her hair. Judging by the lovers initial awkwardness, she is a cheating spouse who meets her lover at the motel. My theory is that love is blind which is why they never noticed him. I truly love the black and white aspect, makes this so Hitchcock-like!
Is he an obsessed lover/ex-lover? Private detective? Maybe just a creepy stalker? Perhaps he's a symbol. Maybe he's meant to show there's no such thing as privacy anymore. My favorite of my screwball theories is the idea that the world is full of terrible, twisted people but when you're with the person you love you ignore that. The rest of the world ceases to exist. It also reminds me of the movie Alphaville and maybe it's nothing more than a homage to that. Whatever the answer, I love this vid.
I thought it was just another instalment their tradition of sleazy behind closed doors characters, like Egg Shaped Fred, Stripper Vicar, Taxloss lover from Liverpool etc.
Paul,look in the mirror-see this wonderful face? How can the stranger to not look at you more then once? It's just impossible...even for you i think...don't be negative!! Smile!

love it, saw them live in 96, spoke to Paul Draper on Facebook few years back. Mansun are the best indie rock band ever
this is the single video in the millions of videos I've seen in RUclips that doesn't have a single dislike in over 80 likes.
thumbs up to MANSUN!
Terrific video. Loved the track too.
12 Years trying to find this video, I'm really happy thanks for upload....
yum yum ! I like it its great hope they come back. Miss them a lot.
they are just too good...paul and chad
Great video.
Brilliant Stuff! Couldn't stop watching!
I love this song! My fave album too!
Man I fucking love Manson! Especially this song, It's one of my fav's. Thanks for posting it Draper! :D
Great enthralling video, couldn't take my eyes away! Maybe the only reason they heard him at the end is because the music stopped playing by then? ;)
thank you
it's one of the best
The same actress was featured in Pulp's "This Is Hardcore" video.
Don't know her name though.

And at 1:03 enter Justin Timberlake.......or Ryan Phillipe.
"I'm not a stalker, I'm an unpaid investigator!"
Never seen that vid before! One of my favourite Mansun songs. Shame the single version still has remnants of Shotgun intruding on the end though!
