Music video.
The video, released in 1986 to promote the "New Voice New Mix" re-recording, features three children, including actors Mark Heatley, Christian Andrews and Russell Ormes who were miming the song. Behind a curtain, Smith, Tolhurst and Dempsey (in his only appearance with the band since his 1979 departure), appear as the children's shadows, with red eyes. This effect was attained by painting their eyelids with fluorescent paint.
