Nedlloyd was a Dutch shipping company, formed in 1970 as the Nederlandsche Scheepvaart Unie (NSU) in a merger of several shipping lines:
In 1977 NSU changed its name to Koninklijke Nedlloyd Groep N.V. ("Royal Nedlloyd Group"), and in 1981 the Koninklijke Nederlandsche Stoomboot-Maatschappij (KNSM) merged into the group. Nedlloyd itself later merged with P&O to become P&O Nedlloyd, now a part of Maersk.
The Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland (SMN), otherwise known as the Netherland Line, was founded in Amsterdam in 1870, while the Koninklijke Rotterdamsche Lloyd (KRL) was founded in Rotterdam in 1875. In a long-lasting friendly rivalry, both shipping companies offered regular mail ship services between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies, the Dutch overseas colony in South East Asia now known as Indonesia.
Do, do do do, do do do
I left when you were still asleep
Glad we had the chance to meet
I walked by your room and whispered your name
I knew I wouldn't be back again
It's seed that's gotta go unsown
It's a missed connection, a cancelled show
Do do do, do do do
There's a light shining out through your eyes at me
But getting in is just like trying to crawl up a tree
I try to get past all that stuff
But a little while is never enough
Like a power line it's hanging low
Seems like there's no outlet on this deadend road
Do do do, do do do
Hey, babe, there's something I can keep
Break off a chunk of you and give me a piece
I put it in my pocket to save it for the days
When thoughts of you come back to me and won't go away
'cos I cannot make my dreams come true no matter how I try
And I cannot be satisfied just knowing you're alive
Dealt a good hand and forced to fold
