Music video

The video tells the story of a young woman who has got her boyfriend (Iddo Goldberg) on a 'short leash'. In the beginning she is seen carrying shopping walking along a country road. She goes into her cottage and her boyfriend is tied up to a chair. At various stages in the video she is seen doing things for him like feeding him and washing his hair. There are newspaper articles around the house with their pictures in and they are on the TV, which makes out they are missing. The police come knocking on the door but think no-one is there and leave. Then Amy starts destroying her room, and in the end she lets her boyfriend leave the house, and she locks the door behind her.
