The girl speaking in the background is from South Africa talking about her failed attempt of commiting suicide along with her kids but as she was out of money she bought a small can of gas,turned it on but it killed her sleeping kids only,leaving her to cry alone! its so moving segue...
The woman's narrative contd-"And then,we went down and ahm put the children to bed and i tidied the flat & everything was kind of like at night.I made a bed in the bathroom,I carried them there & put on the gas bottle.But 2day when i think a back..about that if G_d did take me,then i would've been in hell bcos i wasn't right.(end of pre narration by woman.)
Peter Boyle was a close pal of John Lennon, so maybe it's not too surprising that he'd appear in a rock vid. Still though, I half expected the the genie to shout "Holy Crap" when he saw the babe at the pump!
I just found out about even bothering to find all these cool videos on YouTube from a friend of mine. I'd watched stupid comedy stuff, grisly car crashes, but had never thought about looking for classic music videos! And I thought that looked like Peter Boyle! I LOVE that guy! (Almost as much as I love Rog!) How amazing is Roger Waters that he gets the top top top stars in all sorts of genres to work with him?! Remember Peter Boyle as Jacko Dundee in "Johnny Dangerously"? LOL!
It was the first video of ATD and I think its Roger with his wife.The Prologue tv script about some poverty struck South African woman's guilt confession for failed attempt of suicide by leaving the gas on hoping it would smother her and her children but the gas wasnt enough due to nonpayment is too powerful.
Erotic?I disagree,its about all those things you wanted most but realize that the most u wanted u forgot.He refers to a couple he met in Beirut,His father,Dave helping write the song...but the one thing he forgot!That he wants his wife/love to come back and so there.Though the song 2 me conjures visison of being dark and dimlit streets.
Six people evidently don't have the magic in their hearts to believe in wishes.

I remember Peter Boyle as the father on the RAYMOND series. He is a good actor but woo hoo.
