If I recall correctly around the time of the Falklands War, this song was apparently banned on British radio...

" 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."

Great stuff Split Enz... you know there's a very wise age-old New Zealand saying that says : there's two kinds of people in this world, Kiwis and those who want to be ! Yo. And although we're rivals on the footy field there's nothing quite matches the thrill and excitement of a good game between Aussie & NZ. Across-the-ditch comeraderie they say.

Back to the photo... as soon as I saw it I thought of Split Enz Six Months in a Leaky Boat, hence the intro. The colours kind of make this shot feel sad. Wouldn't wanna be fishing eh !
