Directed by Chris Knox, this performance-based video features assorted strange props including a doll, a mannequin and half a pig's head. The song title is Caroline's Dream, and the video has a dreamlike quality, or should that be nightmare? And what is Chris Matthews doing writhing about on stage with his pants undone?

I wasn't actually writhing about on a stage, that was filmed in (and outside) our practise room which was an old shed behind the Electric House in Grafton where us Children's Hour types lived for a spell. We'd all taken some acid and drunk a bottle of whiskey to get us in a suitable frame of mind for making our first ever music video and when I lay on the floor at one point while we were filming, Chris Knox undid my pants and tried to pull them off; luckily I had the presence of mind to put some undies on before we started filming, 'cos I usually went commando in those days. Also, the bit where Bevan our drummer pretends that I stabbed him the face with a broken bottle was almost another drunken catastrophe: I actually managed to stick it into his cheek and make him bleed. Bloody drummers, eh?
