Music Video
The promotional music video for "Pale Shelter" was filmed in early 1983 in Los Angeles, California, USA. The video is notable for a scene in which Orzabal and Smith walk on the tarmac of an airport towards an image of a giant iron burn, with steam coming off the image as they walk over it. It also includes other scenes such as a police officer directing traffic, a soccer player, a woman waking up and a boy in class. It was also notable for a scene in which they walk headfirst into a sea of flying paper airplanes, with one of them hitting Orzabal directly in the eye. The video was directed by Steve Barron.

The appetite may sicken and so die.”
