Music video

edit

The music video for "Neighbours" features the band members strolling through a park where several young girls are playing croquet. One of their croquet balls disappears through a hoop, and another lands on a cross in the ground, and reveals a long, large zone filled with white crosses. The band stand and observe the sight.
