I don't have the Mp3, so horrible video or not, here it is:

You would love to sing it. It's like that.
I don't have it, which I hope someone will rectify, or I would share.

Oooh, look at all teh hair and studs! She is beautiful, but chaps don't look good with those high-waisted pants. She does have a powerful voice. I think I was listening to Dead Can Dance and Nick Cave, and other moody stuff in '90 when the song came out. I didn't listen to radio that year, and had no tv, so I missed it.
