Owner of a lonely heart video

This may have been discussed before, if so please direct me to the thread.
I've read stories about how Eddie Jobson had been edited out of this video. If he was in the original, they did an amazing job of editing because the video flows quite well. And if in fact he was originally involved which "animal" did he represent? And while we are on the subject, what possible connection does the imagery in this video have with the lyrical content of the song?

I can't answer your questions but for years this was the only Yes song I was familiar with-which is a shame as I think it is OK but not a brilliant song. I also thought that they were an American band (although the speaking bit by Jon Anderson did puzzle me as I thought: "he's got a Northern English accent").
Anyway because this song effectively shielded me from their more wonderful music, I now- perhaps cheekily- think of it as
"Owner of a Lonely Ar*e".

Eddie Jobson is still in the video.



If I remember correctly.
