Songtekst A Night At The Casino – Pieter Tak

I spent all my money in a one armed bandita named Honey Slotting my last dime from the boss hearing the false bells of my loss

A night at the Casino Like stupid geese in a limo

But the bloke on the telly and a pretty singer called Nelly They both recommended your paycheck was best spent, at...

A night at the Casino Like stupid geese in a limo

Throw your salary in the glittering pit Like them fed up football players Landed in the grid Open up the curtain Full of shiny teeth And look at the poor greedy geese Now the guy says, whatever his name, you can play from your couch in any game Roll the dice and bet on spades or hearts get a profit from these home played cards, like...

A night at the Casino Like stupid geese in a limo

So I can line up for a another rehab, you know but my wife shouted that I had to go Ran out of friends, lost my home, kids and Penny It's my bloody own fault, but I'm one of the many, from...

New song: That’s A Friend

De april song van 2023: ‘That’s A Friendl’…nieuwste song van de TakandBand! Wat vind jij er van? Laat het de TakandBand weten!

De april song van 2023: That’s A Friend…nieuwste song van de TakandBand!

Songtekst that’s a friend – Pieter Tak

No lord is gonna help you, if he is not there
No lord is gonna help you, if he is not there
If there is someone willing to help you, someone that fair
He gonna charge you some dollars for his care

No blue lady is gonna help you out of the dark
No blue lady is gonna help you out of the dark
Well, if you ask someone to help you, help you on your mark
Maybe a good woman will hand you a spark

No angel is gonna help you right from above
No angel is gonna help you right from above
If someone is going to stand by you, like a raven or a dove
Maybe you can call it an act of love

So, help your neighbor in the alley, yes, you will
Help your friend out of the valley, and pay the bill --

No one else is gonna tell you what you must do
No one else is gonna tell you what you must do
You're the one so it's yourself
who's getting your guts from behind that shelf
Who is just trying to pull you through

So, help your brother who is in trouble, yes, you will...
Help your sister even double and pay the bill --

No devil is gonna search you for your desire
No devil is gonna purge you, in a nameless fire
No devil no god but maybe a friend
who tells you where to take a bend and helps you to rise and stand
That's a friend who helps you to rise and stand
and stand.....and stand....
Who helps you to rise and...stand

New song: Love Can Tell

De maart song van 2023: Love Can Tell…nieuwste song van de TakandBand!

Songtekst love can tell – Pieter Tak

Now I'm here sitting in the sunset
looking over the valley of life
On the left the river of turmoil
on the right edge the city of light

Thinking: what will she say
when she is talking
who will she meet
when she's heading off
What ideas will cross her freedom
how will she stand
in the river of love

Life offers you a world of wisdom
but a pool of nonsense as well
If you think
you can cheat with freedom
you only find what love can tell,
love can tell

It took me long before I found love
a hell of a time to get on that track
But when the dice
keep rolling your way
never step back

Now I'm here sitting in the sunset
looking over the valley of life
On the left the river of turmoil
on the right edge the city of light

Life offers you a world of wisdom
but a pool of nonsense as well
If you think
you can cheat with freedom
you only find what love can tell

Love can tell, only love can tell

New song: New Words

De nieuwste song van TakandBand, dit keer ‘New Words’. ‘O, vond ik maar nieuwe woorden om uit te drukken wat nog niet is gezegd’, graveerde een Egyptenaar in zijn tablet (1800vChr).

Nieuwe song / new song: New Words… van de nieuwste TakandBand EP.

‘O, vond ik maar nieuwe woorden om uit te drukken wat nog niet is gezegd’, graveerde een Egyptenaar in zijn tablet (1800vChr)

Songtekst new words – Pieter Tak

If I only had unknown expressions
special sayings or new words
Oh, if I only knew what others don't
what has not been said...'

And only new words
would tell how to act
unknown expressions would colour a glimpse
About so much what we still don't know
over what lies ahead
have no fear over what lies ahead

So much has been written
in so many centuries
millions of thoughts
just ready to uncover

I wish I found
only one special saying
to give you a smile of hope
I wish we had the new words
to get us on the move

Bring up our very best
stories and tales
insights that'll tell you
what to know, what to do

to hope for
they lead us to new words
instead of what we should fear
have no fear

So much has been written
in so many centuries
millions of thoughts
just ready to uncover

I wish I found only
one special saying
to give you a smile of hope
I wish we had the new words
to get us on the move

on the move
on the move
on the move
on the move

New song: Laura Comes Home

De nieuwste song van TakandBand, dit keer ‘Laura Comes Home’. Een song clip gemaakt met studenten van BUas in Breda; met Jans Hommel in de hoofdrol, als Laura. ‘Darling, we won’t be home tonight go to bed early, be a good girl’

Nieuwe song / new song: Laura Comes Home… van de nieuwste TakandBand EP.

‘Darling, we won’t be home tonight go to bed early, be a good girl’

Featuring:

Jans Hommel (as ‘Laura’)

A big Thank You to Larvall, Kawi, Marcus and Marek from BUas Breda -thanks for your nice and creative collaboration on this song clip!

Songtekst LAURA COMES HOME – Pieter Tak

Laura comes at home
her voice calls in the hall
She leaves her friends at the gate
they're not allowed to play these days

And at the table in the dining room
she finds a short note
keeping her to the rules:
Darling, we won't be home tonight
go to bed early, be a good girl

Laura comes at home
the key creaks and the rooms are empty
She finds her tea in the fridge
and in the evening she smiles against the screen

And at the table in the dining room
she finds a short note
keeping her to the rules:
Darling, we won't be home tonight
go to bed early, be a good girl

Laura comes at home
she looks pale in the bathroom mirrors
Her sheets are cold
and the darkness makes her cry asleep

And at the table in the dining room
she finds a short note
keeping her to the rules:
Darling, we won't be home tonight
go to bed early, be a good girl

New Song: No Simple Rules

De nieuwste song van TakandBand, dit keer ‘No Simple Rules’. Met gastbijdragen van Leontien Ackerman en Hans de Vos. ‘That’s life, baby take it as it is’…

Nieuwe song / new song: No Simple Rules… van de nieuwste TakandBand EP.

‘That’s life, baby take it as it is’

Featuring:

Leontien Ackerman (violin)
Hans de Vos (double bass)

Songtekst NO SIMPLE RULES – Pieter Tak

There are no simple rules
how to write a simple song
In fact there are no tools
to keep you from going wrong
You have no written paycheque
to lead you to your goal
You can't hide from the bad tricks
we all stumble and fall

That's life, baby
take it as it is
That's life, baby
Just aim, you won't miss
That's life, baby
take it as it is
That's life, baby
Just aim, you won't miss

So let's talk about our differences
and how we floated apart
I know that I've not been
that gentle from the start
But for better and for worse
I feel sorry for what I've been
And not aware of all those things
that I have not seen

It's a privileged world we live in
no real harm is on the loose
Nevertheless there are moments
you definitely have to choose

If life would be a simple song
I would have brought more talent to
 her shape
Maybe less sorrow in the minor chords
and more harmony to fade

That's life, baby
take it as it is
That's life, baby
Just aim, you won't miss
That's life, baby
take it as it is
That's life, baby
Just aim, you won't miss

I'm only a limited musician
I hardly remember my line
Just able to sing my songs
and having a good time
I'm often too curious
what appears on the next page
And what will happen to our song
when I hit it on stage

That's life, baby
take it as it is
That's life, baby
Just aim, you won't miss
That's life, baby
take it as it is
That's life, baby
Just aim
You won't miss...

New Song: Stain in Blood…

De nieuwste song van TakandBand, dit keer ‘Stain in Blood’. ‘Are their fanatics cruel and strong, then the whole idea must be wrong’…

Nieuwe song / new song: Stain in Blood… van de nieuwste TakandBand EP.

Songtekst stain in blood…- Pieter Tak

It's all right 
if your hands are muddy 
It's all right 
if your nails are black 
But can you cope 
when your stain is bloody 
when you finally lay on your back

Hooked into crime 
you will make some money 
But soon you will sniff 
your final lie 
Not even lousy friends 
or a local honey 
will come to see you die

All alone you die 
All alone you die 
in the end you will cry 
but all alone you die

Is it love or religion 
that you got to choose 
Ask yourself if the real deal 
is to gain or to loose

Choosing for love is for another 
choosing religion is to bother 
Are their fanatics cruel and strong 
then the whole idea must be wrong 

Better make your hands 
dirty for love 
and peel your potatoes 
a little bit rough 
You'd better stuck in the mud 
than leave a stain in blood 

You'd better stuck in the mud 
You'd better stuck in the mud 
You'd better stuck in the mud 
than leave a stain in blood 

You'd better stuck in the mud 
than leave a stain in blood

De nieuwste song van Pieter, dit keer ‘What If’. Uitgevoerd met strijkorkest: Leontien Akkerman (viool) en Marthe Kalkhoven (cello). ‘What if we respect where we are coming from’…

Songtekst WHAT IF…- Pieter Tak

What if the river has a speakers voice
what if the mountains have a vote
What if a forest needs no hunt or highway
What if it stands in court

What if the birds would stand up in trial
cause their home has been used as a dump
What if the sea lays a claim cause our filth
makes a jury succumb

Why can't they have rights as a legal person
How can they fight against the greed of men
Let's make some space
in the field of constitution
Or I will listen to any better plan

What if nature takes place in our law
where we don't let the strongest win
What if we respect where we are coming from
and remind us where to begin

What if an island is attacked from the shore
cause the pipeline comes right through
Now they have a legal weapon on their side
in court an island has equal voice too

Why can't they have rights as a legal person
How can they fight against the greed of men
Let's make some space in the field of constitution
Or I will listen to any better plan

Let's make some space in the field of constitution
Or I will listen to any better plan

New Song: Hate

De nieuwste song van Pieter, uitgevoerd met TakandBand. Dit keer ‘Hate’. ‘So much hatred in the world, every paper can tell’

Nieuwe song / new song: Hate van de nieuwste TakandBand EP.

‘So much hatred in the world, every paper can tell’

Met op solo-gitaar: Martin Pennings

Songtekst hate – Pieter Tak

So much hatred in the world
every paper can tell
Hatred from the fanatics
claiming their religious hell

Hatred of the refugees
almost drowning in their arc
Now we're talking about our
neighbours
throwing trash in the park

You're taught to hate rats
and you eager to call
Like: 'Burn the suckers down'
like: 'Kill them all'

Hate makes you lonely
Won't help to pull you through
Hate makes you lonely
no matter what you do

Hate makes you lonely
Drags you down the drain
Hate makes you lonely
Causes lots of pain

'Down under the pavement
that stinky trash shall go
Into the deepest mud
the sticky birds are thrown'

'Yeah, give them dirt to eat
and kick the hairy ass
See the noses in the dark
clogged inside their mess'

Hate makes you lonely
It won't help to pull you through
Hate makes you lonely
no matter what you do

Hate makes you lonely
Drags you down the drain
Hate makes you lonely
Causes lots of pain

Hate makes you lonely
will scorch at any stage
Hate makes you lonely
and torch your rage

Hate makes you lonely
lonely like a wolf
Hate makes you lonely
and keeps you out of the groove

See them pissing in the alley
see them dealing in the dark
Turning the volume up to nine
anger needs just a spark

It's the rhythm of the song
that keeps me moving on
It's the rush that drugs
that'll make it run

Hate makes you lonely
Won't help to pull you through
Hate makes you lonely
no matter what you do

Hate makes you lonely
Drags you down the drain
Hate makes you lonely
Causes lots of pain

New Song: Buddy Positivity

De nieuwste song van Pieter, uitgevoerd met TakandBand. Dit keer ‘Buddy Positivity’. Met als gast musicus Thijmen Topouzis op cello…

Nieuwe song / new song: Buddy Positivity van de nieuwste TakandBand EP.

Met als gast musicus Thijmen Topouzis op cello…

Songtekst buddy positivity- Pieter Tak

I'm positive about my glasses
they make me look quite straight
one tooth is fixed a little longer
so my smile has gained
some weight

My high forehead you're looking at
is a heritage from my daddy
I've been told
My eldest son has
that much space as well
from our twentieths we grew bald

Oh, Buddy positivity
Oh, Buddy positivity

I don't admire my nagging back
it is marked no one can spell
But every man of age counts his list
of scars he doesn't really tell

So it's better not to moan
about my corpse
it carried me for all these years
Through thick and thin
sunshine and rain
it brought me laughter
more than tears

Oh, Buddy positivity
Oh, Buddy positivity

I was a runner in my days, you
know
I sprinted along the line

That talent saved me
from quite a few fights
cause I could run away in time
Though my shoulders
carried the weight of work
countering temptations
what life brings
My hands took care
of what was worth
and my fingertips earned calluses
from the strings

O, positivity
Don't get burned from negativity
Don't let yourself squash
under simplicity
So let's burst out in pure activity

Oh,
Oh,

Now I am happy with my rusted
bike
I still walk another mile
I've seen those oldies
crawl and creep
So I prefer to end in style

My body brought me everywhere
although it was not that far
It brought me love and music, look
I'm still strumming this old guitar

Oh, Buddy positivity
Oh, Buddy positivity
Oh, Buddy positivity
