<P> The video was taken at around Angel underground station in Islington , London , and was uploaded to YouTube on 22 April 2010 . It narrates the story of a girl addicted to drugs , living on the streets of London , played by Selina MacDonald . She tried to sell The Big Issue magazines for money , but only managed to sell one to Sheeran . The girl struggled so much that she resorted to selling her body to earn money . She may not have loved it , but it provided her with a general income . Later on , the pain became too much for her to bear and she just wanted to end it all . She traded in her `` dirty '' money for drugs , referencing the lyric `` ... and in a pipe she flies to the motherland . '' In the end , the girl succumbs to her drug abuse and dies . Some relative , or perhaps friend finds her dead , hence at the beginning of the video where she is found and someone is looming over her seeming to be mourning her death . An acoustic , unplugged version of the song was also uploaded onto the official Ed Sheeran YouTube page on 10 May 2011 . </P>
