Description
Something infinitely sad about lighthouse keepers: a harsh and lonely existence; a breed destined to die out and be replaced by automation .. but exquisitely funny.. if you consider two of them, with one playing constant practical jokes on the other to relieve the boredom:
Fun romp featuring the lighthouse keeper characters by Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill. Those spoken samples from http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/tv/chewinthefat/downloads/sounds.shtml
Influences: Compulsion, Green day, early Faster Pussycat, Foo fighters, the Who.
I only just noticed there was a song by Peter Hamill and Van Der Graaf Generator called "plague of lighthouse keepers" - spooky that.
Why 'Pootle' from "The Flumps"? Well .. he just looked like the cutest little lighthouse keeper ever.

Gonna nae dae that [Please don't do that]
How? [Why?]
Just, gonna no. [Just don't.]
You've taken that too far.
Gonna nae dae that [Please don't do that]
How? [Why?]
Just, gonna no. [Just don't.]
How? [Why?]
Just, gonna no. [Just don't.]
You've taken that too far.
Gonna nae dae that [Please don't do that]
How? [Why?]
Just, gonna no. [Just don't.]
