The Lighthouse Keeper’s Bicycle Lyrics – Doggerel Bank
Singer: Doggerel Bank
Title: The Lighthouse Keeper’s Bicycle
Oh the lighthouse keeper’s bicycle
Was covered with rust and mud
The rattles were indescribable
It shuddered from hub to hub
But twice a day, he peddled the track
Five miles there and five miles back
Through hurricane, storm and ice
Until he sat in the village pub, pub, pub
The lighthouse keeper’s bicycle
Leans on the lighthouse wall
Near the neat little whitewashed vestibule
At the base of the tower so tall
The muffled cannon in the caves
The organ wind and the seagull’s cry
The baleful moan when the foghorn brays
And unknown ships edge warily by
They’re all the company he’ll get
Until his lonely watch is done
Then down he winds, stone step by step
And tests the back tyre with his thumb
Oh the lighthouse keeper’s bicycle
Was caked with salt and tar
The brakes, they were derisable
One mud guard swung ajar
But he beat up the track in the north wind’s teeth
With the handlebars reading north by east
Through hurricane, storm and ice
Until his fist closed round a jar, jar, jar
The lighthouse keeper’s bicycle’s
Tied up at the harbour inn
In the parlour bar, he drinks his fill
Of ale both thick and thin
There were tales to tell and as midnight neared
The tales grew taller and steeper
But the tallest tales they ever heared
Were told by the lighthouse keeper
He told how each night he had to pass
A haunted farm whose ruins scarred
Stood back from the sea on the lighthouse path
How a ghost stood always in the yard
All clad in white, a spectral hand he’d rear
The barroom chills, the listeners hug their fright
But the lighthouse keeper said he had no fear
And never failed to wish it a good night
His grave account impressed the simple jury
The silent smoke-filled parlour was aghast
But a sly one there who doubted the whole story
Slipped out unseen and ran home very fast
He grabs a sheet, then quickly hies
Off to the haunted house and waited there
He’d guessed the lighthouse keeper’s yarn a pack of lies
And planned a cruel shock to raise his hair
Draped in the sheet, he stood, the moon shone eerily
A cold wind whistled round the ruined byres
Meanwhile, the lighthouse keeper, singing beerily
Was pumping up his patched and porous tyres
Then he struck a match for his nice nickel-plated acetylene light
And clattered away on his bicycle into the depths of night
When he came by the farm now, what did he see?
‘Twas haunted for once, “Oh ho” says he
Here’s one that another’s leg tries to pull
Hello, there’s two of you there tonight, good night, good night
The man leapt out of his skin almost
And fled before the wind
Pursued by his sheets like an angry ghost
The lighthouse keeper grinned
Now all this happened a long time ago
Before I sowed any oats
The lighthouse keeper died, you know
And he joined all the spooks
And the spirits and the ghosts
And they tell the tale at the harbour inn
When the window shines like a lantern
Across the bay where the waves pound in
Of that terrible lighthouse phantom
‘Tis an ancient riderless bicycle
Covered with rust and mud
As though hurled by a poltergeist
It’ll clatter over rocks and scrub
Twice a night when the moon’s at its height
Comes pelting down the lane with a rattle of chain
Through hurricane, storm and ice
Until it reaches the village pub, pub, pub, pub

The Lighthouse Keeper’s Bicycle – Terjemahan / Translation
Oh sepeda penjaga mercusuar
Ditutupi dengan karat dan lumpur
Guncungan itu tak terlukiskan
Itu bergidik dari hub ke hub
Tapi dua kali sehari, dia menjajakan trek
Lima mil di sana dan lima mil ke belakang
Melalui badai, badai dan es
Sampai dia duduk di pub desa, pub, pub
Sepeda penjaga mercusuar
Bersandar di dinding mercusuar
Di dekat ruang depan bercat putih yang rapi
Di dasar menara begitu tinggi
Meriam yang teredam di gua -gua
Angin organ dan tangisan burung camar
Erangan buruk saat foghorn brays
Dan kapal yang tidak dikenal dengan waspada
Mereka semua adalah perusahaan yang akan dia dapatkan
Sampai jam tangannya yang kesepian selesai
Kemudian turunnya, batu, selangkah demi selangkah
Dan menguji ban belakang dengan ibu jari
Oh sepeda penjaga mercusuar
Diliputi garam dan tar
Rem, mereka bisa dicemoohkan
Seorang penjaga lumpur mengayunkan Ajar
Tapi dia memukuli trek di gigi angin utara
Dengan setang membaca utara oleh timur
Melalui badai, badai dan es
Sampai tinjunya menutup toples, toples, toples
Sepeda penjaga mercusuar
Diikat di Harbor Inn
Di bar ruang tamu, dia meminum isi
Ale keduanya tebal dan tipis
Ada kisah untuk diceritakan dan saat tengah malam mendekati
Kisahnya tumbuh lebih tinggi dan lebih curam
Tapi kisah tertinggi yang pernah mereka dengar
Diberitahu oleh penjaga mercusuar
Dia memberi tahu bagaimana setiap malam dia harus lewat
Sebuah peternakan berhantu yang reruntuhannya terluka
Berdiri kembali dari laut di jalur mercusuar
Bagaimana hantu selalu berdiri di halaman
Semua berpakaian putih, tangan spektral yang dia belakang
Barroom itu menggigil, para pendengar memeluk ketakutan mereka
Tapi penjaga mercusuar itu mengatakan dia tidak takut
Dan tidak pernah gagal berharap malam yang baik
Akun kuburnya mengesankan juri yang sederhana
Ruang tamu yang diisi asap yang sunyi itu terkejut
Tapi yang licik di sana yang meragukan keseluruhan cerita
Terpeleset dan berlari pulang dengan sangat cepat
Dia meraih seprai, lalu dengan cepat bersinar
Pergi ke rumah berhantu dan menunggu di sana
Dia menebak benang penjaga mercusuar sebungkus kebohongan
Dan merencanakan kejutan yang kejam untuk mengangkat rambutnya
Terbungkus lembaran itu, dia berdiri, bulan bersinar dengan menakutkan
Angin dingin bersiul di sekitar Byres yang hancur
s#mentara itu, penjaga mercusuar, bernyanyi birily
Sedang memompa bannya yang ditambal dan berpori
Lalu dia mencocokkan untuk lampu asetilena berlapis nikel yang bagus
Dan berdentang di sepedanya ke kedalaman malam
Ketika dia datang ke peternakan sekarang, apa yang dia lihat?
‘Twas berhantu sekali, “oh ho” bilang dia
Inilah satu yang dicoba untuk ditarik kaki orang lain
Halo, ada dua dari kalian di sana malam ini, selamat malam, selamat malam
Pria itu melompat keluar dari kulitnya hampir
Dan melarikan diri di depan angin
Dikejar oleh seprai seperti hantu yang marah
Penjaga mercusuar menyeringai
Sekarang semua ini terjadi sejak lama
Sebelum saya menabur gandum
Penjaga mercusuar mati, Anda tahu
Dan dia bergabung dengan semua hantu
Dan roh -roh dan hantu
Dan mereka menceritakan kisah di Harbor Inn
Saat jendela bersinar seperti lentera
Di seberang teluk tempat ombak menumbuk
Dari hantu mercusuar yang mengerikan itu
Ini adalah sepeda tanpa pengendara kuno
Ditutupi dengan karat dan lumpur
Seolah dilemparkan oleh seorang poltergeist
Itu akan berdering di atas batu dan scrub
Dua kali semalam saat bulan berada di puncaknya
Datang melempari jalur dengan rantai rantai
Melalui badai, badai dan es
Sampai mencapai pub desa, pub, pub, pub
