Youth• Children portrayed as being naïve.• Watching Punch and Judy typical children’s activity. • Children on the floor at the front of the room

surrounded by adults which might represent protection from the world.

“There's a wild wind blowingDown the corner of my street…

There's a wild wind blowingDown the corner of my street.”

• Protected in this small community.• Young girl looking up to the band.• Instead of children's book is a biography of the

bad. Role model’s for the children?

Britain• Video contradicts the lyrics• Lyrics suggest a cold world, weapons, wars etc but

in the video we see a seemingly dreamlike scene.

There's a wild wind blowing…”“…There's a cold war coming

On the radio I heardBaby it's a violent world…”

“…I could hear it comingI could hear the sirens sound…”“Oh and time's a loaded gun…”

• Everyone getting along, children protected, everything perfect?

• But then the video could be seen as over exaggerating the real world because we know that things don’t happen like that.
