It's just a dramatization of that old poem 'The Highwayman'. Even the very beginning, the camera moves across the page of a book, where the text is the opening line of the poem, something like "The wind was gusty across the moors etc"
I swear John/Mick/Christine aren't in it:s I better look more closely.
I always though the car scene at the end redeemed an otherwise uninspired hack video concept. It is clever though how they worked in Christine's lyrics "Can you hear me calling out your name" with the storyline of the waitress trying to tell the Highwayman not to return to the trap. Plus the gunshot coinciding with Mick's 'added rhythm' drum beat.
Either ways - weird indeed
But better than the cartoon ones you get these days when the band isn't/can't be bothered to be in it. Lol, theres's something, an FM video with cartoon characters - and they can make Lindsey's cartoon character really bad lip syncher!
