DESCRIPTION: A video for the tune from Low Life. Bernard Sumner talks about the song . "Love Vigilantes" I decided to write a redneck song. It was quite tongue-in-cheek. It was about Vietnam. It was about a soldier that came back and his wife was sent a telegram to say that he was dead. You can take the ending one way or another. He's either dead and he's come back as a ghost and he sees her or he's not dead and the telegram was a mistake. But his wife's got it and killed herself. Which is a very country tragedy.
