Wikipedia

"The Thin Wall" is a song by British new wave band Ultravox, released in 1981 as the lead single from their fifth studio album Rage in Eden. It was recorded in Conny Plank's Studio in Cologne, Germany and released on Chrysalis Records on 14 August 1981.

The music video, directed by Russell Mulcahy, features Midge Ure struggling to cope among strange and nightmarish imagery, similar to a haunted house setting, while the other band members seemingly plot his demise.

It peaked at No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart.
