1981- TARGET- 1983 next band Ywis or back to homepage

When Peter de Bruin left 'Barock', we changed the name of the band to 'Target'. Later Ron and Nico left the band, so Herman, Rinus and I did a lot of jamming. These sessions became the basis for the later 'Ywis' album. In 1983 Geert en Erik joined 'Target' to complete the band.

GREEN PEAS IN A CAN Since I arrived in that dazzling tropic scene, came to love it what it’s for. Day by day I understand it more, feel more at home than I was back home before. Come the day, that you will like the green. Come the day, you'll know why I have been. Come the day, you’ll feel what I have seen. That’s the day, when you will change your scene. Since I got back in this strange neurotic world and found my way to the old door. And fitted in just like I did before, knew this was home but nothing more. Come the time, that I will fly again. Come the time, I’m back where I was then. Come the time, you’ll also be a fan. Come the time, you’ll know just what I am. Since I arrived in that dazzling tropic scene, came to love it what it’s for. Day by day I understand it more, feel more at home than I was back home before. Come the time, that I will fly again. Come the time, I’m back where I was then. Come the time, you’ll also be a fan. Come the time, you’ll know just what I am. © S. van Heck (1982)
