[edit] Music Video

The music video, directed by Dom and Nic, contains scenes filmed at the now defunct MG Rover Longbridge plant. It starts out with a man watching women in an exercise video dance on a window TV in a store, possibly spoofing the then-recent video for Eric Prydz's single Call On Me.

The man is then shown to be a worker at a factory, and a group of the robotic arms used at said factory stop to point at him as he walks by. He is confused until one of them breaks through at him through his bathroom window as he is shaving that night. When he reopens his eyes after the "attack" the window is unbroken and there is no evidence of it. Then he sees the robots chasing him at various times, such as in the locker room, and as he is travelling on the London Underground; however, no one else notices them and they never reach him. Eventually they start chasing him through the city and corner the worker on the roof. Realising that they are an illusion, he starts laughing and on the streets as the robots run "at" him, everything flashes color, and a building collapses.
