De Artsen were an indie-rock band from The Netherlands. They formed in Arnhem in 1981 and disbanded in 1990. De Artsen consisted of Joost Visser (vocals, guitar), Peter Visser (guitar), Herman Bunskoeke (bass), and Reinier Veldman (drums).
In 1989 De Artsen released the album Conny Waves with a Shell on their own label Why Are There People Like Frank? Records. The album received a positive response from critics and was followed by a series of concerts in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and France.

Artist: De Artsen Song: 10 grains (from their album "Conny waves with a shell"
Use standard tuning, bit of reverb, perhaps some chorus. I used the text just like it appeared in the CD book, although not always correct ?! De Artsen were the predecessors of Bettie Serveert, a well known ducth band.

VERSE
CF Dear minister of photography, would you please explain
CF How come she'll find oranges in your apple tree down memorylane
CF She looks somewhat familiar in her apron and her hat, like no one ever sung
CF This quotation is such to interpret, guess you're the only one
CHORUS 1
CAmF She said ten grains is enough for you
CAmF When sirenes getting hold of you
VERSE
Now I come to think of, what she really meant Anyway don't get so wet about this lookalike lament And I surely wanna take her, ofcourse I wanna take her, where she's never been Where pressure people shrink, or just afraid to go to, somewhere inbetween
CHORUS 2
CAmF But she said ten grains is enough for you
CAmF When sirens getting hold of you
CAmF Apprehension, I had to dig it ten feet underground
CAmF Final, I still love you somehow
VERSE 3
Well the ancient apecall, sense of gloom showing on my screen Stop this nonsense, stop this nonsense, don't get fooled by the pityqueen. Blister on my soul, well that sounds nice, pathetic poem to my girl Boy, you still haven't grown up, see you dazzling in this women's world
