I note they're all sensibly wearing hats:

Not typical of the Damned's ouvre, but utterly beautiful, especially the Spanish-style guitar (which incredibly meant that my Spanish guitar-playing dad actually liked a song by a punk band).

I used to have such a crush on Dave Vanian when I was a teenage gothling.

Also, you should give the original version of the song a listen sometime: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alone_Again_Or

I did give the original a listen at your suggestion. Maybe it's my goth roots showing, but I still prefer Vanian & crew's version :)
