Lyrics Six Months In A Leaky Boat - Album Edit;2006 - Remaster; - Tim Finn

When I was a young boy I wanted to sail round the world
That's the life for me living on the sea
Spirit of a sailor who circumnavigates the globe
The list of a pioneer will acknowledge no frontier

I remember you by thunderclap in the sky
Lightning flash, tempers flare, around the horn if you dare
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Lucky just to keep afloat
Da da daya da da data da ya

A' otea'roa, rugged individual
Glitters like a pearl at the bottom of the world
The tyranny of distance it didn't stop the cavalier
So why should it stop me
I'll conquer and stay free

Ah cmon 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
Da da daya da da dala day ya

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
Da an Dada day daya day da ah ah
Da an Dada day daya day da ah ah
Da an Dada day daya day da ah ah
