Music video


The video was shot in Moscow, Russia by French director Romain Gavras, and features Turner and Kane walking through the Russian capital. Gavras would later describe the shoot as "crazy" saying: "On the other side of the camera, it was a training camp with tanks shooting all the time, totally unsafe."[1][2] The video won Best Cinematography at the 2008 UK Music Video Awards.[3]
