[edit] Video
Cry Wolf
Director: Steve Barron
This song was released as a second single from "Scoundrel Days." The theme of the video was taken from the story of the boy who cried wolf - which was also the inspiration for the song. Paul: " Cry Wolf has my first decent word-picture: ‘He came from where the winds are cold and truth is seen through key-holes…' Otherwise lots of bass, riffs and pure youthful force… not so much substance, perhaps". Cry Wolf was filmed in Couches, Burgundy, France.
World Sales:2.200.000
