<P> The bulk of the video then alternates between the band's performance (with Paul Carrack acting as the bassist) and the manager's adventures in trying to acquire the necessary £ 500 . The manager's conflicts get worse when a Chinese hoodlum swipes his money while riding a bike . The manager runs after the thief and follows him to the basement of a restaurant in Chinatown where his money is being gambled away . There he attempts to gamble his money back by playing mah - jong . However, as he is winning, the thief and his cronies kick him out of the building . As he sits in despair, he attains his goal when he finds a lost dog and the grateful owner hands him some money . Thinking nothing of this encounter, the manager eventually glances at the money and realises that the man handed him a thousand - pound note by mistake . He tries to return the money, but the dog owner is already gone . He then returns to the restaurant, pays the owner the £ 500, and gives the change to Rutherford, telling him to split it among the band . </P> <P> Both the greenhorn tour manager and the closing quip "That's an easy way of making a living" would make return appearances in the video for "Taken In". </P> <P> In 1988 Rutherford's other band Genesis performed a section of the song as part of a solo career medley on the 1988 Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert . It is the only Mike + The Mechanics song to have been played live by the band . Genesis vocalist Phil Collins covered the song at the picnic by the lake in 1989 . It was also referenced by him often during Genesis concerts, especially during the "Turn It On Again" medley . </P> <P> In 2003, the song was covered by classically trained vocalist Tina Ann . In May 2005 the song was covered by Red Kult . </P>

Mike and mechanics all i need is a miracle
