--------------------- LYRICS ----------------------

Well touch
Yeah I touched your hand
By accident
So touch
I didn't understand to touch you
But I touched her hand

Yeah does she look at me
Oh I could see her eyes
Were just as I hoped
Just as I hoped they would be

I said touch baby
I didn't mean to touch you
But I didn't stop your hand
Well she looks so understanding
Try to look so recommanding and

She held mine so tight
We didn't speak a word
And stayed right by her side
That's how we spend the night
I held her hand in mine
Made me feel so fine down there

Well touch
I just touched her hand
By accident
I said touch
I didn't understand to touch you
But I touched your little hand

Yeah you look at me
That I could see your eyes
Were just as I hoped
As I hoped they would be

Well touch
I didn't mean to touch you
But I touched your hand
Well you were so understanding
I tried to look so recommanding and

I've been with her all night long
Sharing a feeling that grew strong
We found ourselves a love
That couldn't possibly go wrong
I still hold her hand in mine
And it still makes me feel so fine
As it was




The Outsiders were a Dutch band from Amsterdam. Their period of greatest popularity in the Netherlands was from 1965-67, but they released records until 1969.

Featuring Wally Tax (vocals), Ronnie Splinter (guitar), Appie Rammers (bass guitar), Tom Krabbendam (guitar), Leendert "Buzz" Busch (drums), and Frank Beek (bass guitar 1968-1969), the band exemplified the "Nederbeat Sound", a raw and immediate Dutch take on rock 'n' roll created in the wake of the 60s British Invasion. Unlike the many European bands influenced by the Beatles, the Outsiders took their cues from harder-edged British groups like The Pretty Things (who frequently toured the Netherlands) and The Rolling Stones. In November 1965, in in 's-Hertogenbosch, The Outsiders were a supporting act in the The Rolling Stones' second Dutch concert. However, others have cited influences as wide-ranging as Buddy Holly, Jacques Brel, and Love (band), as well as Eastern European folk influence from Tax's Russian Roma ethnic roots. The Outsiders developed a reputation for a wild and raucous stage act, and were eventually banned from various venues.

The Outsiders released three full-length records, Outsiders and the singles collection Songbook in 1967, and C.Q. in 1968. The latter sold poorly upon release, but is now considered a masterpiece of psychedelic garage rock. The band also released thirteen singles, including 1967's Summer Is Here, which reached the Top Ten on the Dutch charts. Their eponymous debut album, which featured one side of studio recordings and another taken from their live show, also sold well during this period. Unusually for this era, the band never recorded any covers.

After the summer of '67, many of the Nederbeat bands fell from commercial favor, including Q65, Les Baroques, The Motions, and The Outsiders. Later Outsiders singles had lower chart peaks, and personnel changes, friction, poor promotion and management problems followed. Experiments and changes in musical style, though critically well-regarded today, only served to alienate the band's fanbase. The group began attempting publicity stunts in the hopes of building interest. These included dressing in medieval costumes, and staging a haircut for lead singer Wally Tax on Dutch television.

Reportedly, Kurt Cobain was a fan of the Outsiders and made an unsuccessful attempt to meet Wally Tax.[1]

A reunion tour of the four original Outsiders took place in October 1997. Wally Tax died in 2005.

The Outsiders are the subject of an official biography, Outsiders door Insiders (1997), written in Dutch by Jerome Blanes. English translation has been completed in June 2008 and will be published any moment now. Two collections of photographs, The Outsiders Picture Book, Volume 1 and The Outsiders Picture Book, Volume 2 and 2 Scrapbooks with articles have also been published.

  • zou zo graag wilen dat andere jongeren(zoals ik) deze muziek weer konden gaan waarderen en luisteren

  • my fathers nephew is a lid of this band he plays the guitar :)

  • @jackflash3000 Ik heb ze gegoogled niet lang nadat ik die vraag had gesteld. The Outsiders zijn trouwens van ver voor m'n jeugd. Ik ben 15, dus de kans dat ik ze ken is vrij klein. Ik weet nu tenminste dat deze bent bestaat en gewoon geweldig is, maar er zijn volgens mij mensen in m'n klas die niet eens weten wie de Rolling Stones zijn.

    Maar inderdaad, dit is gewoon het beste wat Nederland ooit is overkomen, samen met Brainbox.

  • Had this about 16 years ago on a Hipshakers Mod Compilation. Have since got the singles and 3 albums on vinyl. The powers that be have finally re-released these gems. Check out 'Daddy died on saturday' , 'Filthy Rich' and 'You Remind Me' . The outsiders are finally building a long overdue fanbase in the UK. RIP Wally.

  • Is dit een Nederlands band?

  • Alweer een Studio GTB Den Haag Recording !! , Vader ( Ge) en zoon (Erik) Bakker, De meeste systemen zelf gebouwd, mengtafel ( hier nog maar 4 sporen) met dub mogelijkheid. na 1967 24 sporen ook weer zelf ontworpen en gebouwd. Ik als studiotechnicus daar en heb de Boys van de band om half 7 mee genomen naar een snackbar in de zijstraat van de Jan van Nassaustraat, wat hebben die mensen niet gedacht, het waren niet alledaagse verschijningen in het statige Benoordenhout !!
