Within reach of Banque Populaire
Or of Sodebo
In the middle of the water
At the place where land no longer
Returns an echo
There is Point Nemo
So why
Do we stay at port,
Why don’t we climb aboard,
A boat?
Within sight of an eye cast
Over the shelves
On opening the books
One can see full well history repeating
Like a good watchmaker
Like a drunken boat
So why
Do we still tolerate
The hateful
Conquistadors?
Point Nemo
As it’s commonly known
Draws me like a magnet
At the point we're at now
In the corner we’ve been put in
Might as well set sail
For Point Nemo
Within reach of the arms we lay down
Under the ill winds
They spray upon us
We see the seasons we are left
Far from the month of may
From the cherry time
So why
Do we stay at port
Why don’t we climb aboard,
A boat?
Point Nemo
As it’s commonly known
Draws me like a magnet
At the point we're at now
In the corner we’ve been put in
Might as well set sail
For Point Nemo
In the distant wearinesses
In the discouraging forties
To be with certainty
The most distant of people
Point Nemo
As it’s commonly known
Draws me like a magnet
At the point we're at now
In the corner we’ve been put in
Might as well set sail
For Point Nemo
A bit awkward this one - suggestions for improvement welcome!
