  Description:  
  The band:  Siouxsie Sioux, Steven Severin, Budgie, Martin McCarrick, John Klein.  The video opens with an animation of butterflies and hands clutching at them.  The animated sections are in monochrome, whilst the remainder of the video is tinted in either greens or purplish blues.  As the singing commences Siouxsie is found 'trapped' in netting.  A fish eye lens is then used as the group walk around in a circle, giving the impression that they are circling a 'killing jar', (the object used when collecting butterflies and moths).  Siouxsie is seen slowly spinning on her back, as if pinned and mounted like a butterfly.  Towards the end of the song a strobe is used to great effect as Siouxsie flaps and swoops like a butterfly.  The final scenes show Siouxsie with her 'wings' spread, as animated hands crawl and clasp at her.
