"Six Months in a Leaky Boat" is a single from New Zealand art rock group Split Enz's album ''Time and Tide''. It was written by Tim Finn and released as a single in 1982. The song is a reference to the time it took pioneers to sail to Australia and New Zealand (hence the reference to "the tyranny of distance" - a history by Geoffrey Blainey), and a metaphor that refers to lead singer Tim Finn's nervous breakdown. The song was "discouraged from airplay" in Britain during the Falklands crisis by the BBC for reasons of morale - it was thought that references to ''leaky boats'' was not appropriate during the naval action in the war. ==Track listing== #"Six Months in a Leaky Boat" 4:21 #"Make Sense of It" 3:40 An introductory piece titled "Pioneer", written by Eddie Rayner, appears before the song on the Australian and New Zealand release of ''History Never Repeats - The Best of Split Enz''. This track is not present on the American release. This track also forms an introduction to "Six Months in a Leaky Boat" on its original album release (on Time and Tide). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Six Months in a Leaky Boat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
