One of my favorite songs. EVER.
It's worth mentioning that the video fits the song perfectly. 60's spy thriller with a cynical 90's twist. The song is very Johny Barry-inspired, so voila! - audio-visual perfection.
Portishead has never failed me (they never really had a chance to).
Beth Gibbons' solo project is worth a listen, too.

Sour Times got to #53 on the Hot 100 in 1995

I can't remember the video very well, but I sure remember it was creepy. I'll be looking for it, so that I can elaborate.

^ Thanks Damage.
I guess I wasn't particularly at ease with the video because it put the album cover in context, and not a great context. What I can't grab is why I was so obsessed by it but maybe, as oscillations said, the "audio-visual perfection" worked a little too well for me, in a negative way.
And, come to think of it now (but I thought the same way then), Adrian Utley was hot!

Uber-classic. One for the depressed hipster who can't get a date. ;)
But in all seriousness, a great song. Dummy is a wonderful album.
