Six Months In A Leaky Boat Lyrics - Singles - 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
