Video: British Sea Power: "No Lucifer"
There's a lot of heavy stuff happening in this video for "No Lucifer", a track from British Sea Power's Do You Like Rock Music?. We see people in grotesque and exaggerated costumes portraying reviled despots. And the lyrics, helpfully spelled out on the screen, outline the song's theme, something about the struggle between good and evil. But the real stars are the string puppets and marionettes parading about, all of which come from the collection of bassist Hamilton, aka Neil Wilkinson, who also directs.
