Six Months in a Leaky Boat - Split Enz
When I was a young boy I wanted to sail around the world
That's the life for me living on the sea
Spirit of a sailor circumnavigates the globe
The lust of a pioneer will acknowledge no frontier
I remember you by thunderclap in the sky
Lightning flash tempers flare 'round the horn if you dare
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Lucky just to keep afloat
Aotearoa rugged individual
Glisten like a pearl at the bottom of the world
The tyranny of distance didn't stop the cavalier
So why should it stop me I'll conquer and stay free
Ah c'mon all you lads let's forget and forgive
There's a world to explore tales to tell back on shore
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Six months in a leaky boat
Ship wrecked love can be cruel don't be fooled by her kind
There's a wind in my sails will protect and prevail
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Nothing to it leaky boat
