Music video

MIDNIGHT seen in the "Little Miss Murder" video.

The video opens with the dramatic and upbeat introduction of the song, MIDNIGHT and her lover are seen in an intimate encounter, her pinned up against the wall. She runs her fingernails up his back, leaving scratch marks, before the whole scene swiftly fades out. MIDNIGHT is now seen asleep whilst her lover is seen walking away, leaving her. MIDNIGHT awakens, she looks around, looking confused. She wraps herself up in the bed sheets and looks around, wondering where he's gone, she then looks down and notices that his stuff is gone and realises that he's ditched her. She looks up at the mirror and throws the nearest item to her at it, a crack appearing, she leans forward and presses her lips against the mirror, leaving a kiss mark, before leaving. The music fades out as a new scene fades in, we see a few quick shots of the room, wine glasses, a shirt on the floor, and a camera. We now see a slow pan shot of the room until it stops, MIDNIGHT is on top of a man, we see a close-up of his hands, tied up above the bed. We then learn the identity of this mystery man as the camera slowly moves downwards, KIRBY is seen dead, she's getting her revenge on other men. MIDNIGHT leans closer to him and smiles. We see MIDNIGHT move backwards as we just see her face, she looks to be concentrating on something until the camera shows KIRBY's face, X marks over his eyes.The camera now comes into use as MIDNIGHT reaches for it (IT'S A KODAK!! ) and takes a picture of what she's just done to KIRBY. She prints it out and quickly waves it around and blows on it to dry the picture, she throws it down onto KIRBY's chest, the camera shows the picture and as well as hairdryer wires wrapped around KIRBY's neck, her weapon of choice. The scene fades out. We now see the video in colour as MIDNIGHT is leaning against a wall, the camera zooms out as we see her stood next to a payphone, she enters her money and picks up the phone. However, we don't learn who she's calling, we only hear what she's hearing on the phone, the person isn't picking up, she drops the phone and walks off into her car. We now see her supposed lover who's seen climbing over a fence and walking off, we assume that he's running from her and was the one that she was just calling. He walks across the road until we suddenly see a car speed into him, he falls to the floor and the car quickly stops. MIDNIGHT is seen smiling inside the car, pleased with herself after just running him over. She gets out of the car and runs towards him, searching him, before finding a passport in his back pocket, we learn he was trying to flee the country from her. She smiles as she opens it, she kisses his passport photo and runs back into her car with it, speeding off as the video fades out.
