Awesome music! Do i understand it correctly that you are only using virtual instruments?

Reminds me a bit of happy the man and kit Watkins at times.

cool evolution - superb synth work too - very creative

The Light Is On

Verrucas is about those nasty warts. Relentless, unavoidable, omnipresent.


LYRICS

An ordinary wart, that happens to grow on the sole of my foot.
It's hard and flat and consists of a core of tough warty tissue.
Buried in the skin of my foot by the pressure of standing.
By the pressure of standing (2x) pa pa pa pada pada (2x) paaaa.

chorus:
It's got slightly bigger, since she left for school.
Sister Joe's verruca has strayed from the pool.
It’s a wart with potential, a fashion essential,
limp with that curious knowing little smile.

Wish it had gone, left me alone, please go away, I love my soles.
Go away.
Wish it had gone, left me alone. Go away. Please go away, oh I wish wish it went.


[chorus / instrumental interlude / chorus]

Wish it had gone, left me alone, please go away, I love my soles.
Go away.
Wish it had gone, left me alone, please go away, oh, I want healthy soles.

[wart transmission event (small scale) / instrumental interlude] 

An ordinary wart, that happens to grow on the sole of my foot.
It's hard and flat and consists of a core of tough warty tissue.
Buried in the skin of my foot by the pressure of standing.

[Last wise words (never recorded): They can be picked up from damp floors in bathrooms, changing rooms, showers, and swimming pools]



EPILOGUE

Verrucas is about those nasty warts: relentless, unavoidable, omnipresent. The song was inspired by an article in one of those magazines, living on a side table, only read when procrastinating. A song about this fact of life was simply unavoidable. However, it was hard, incredibly hard: in 1996 writing started, and it took us 25 years to finalize the piece. But there it was, a song about warts, until then missing in our cultural heritage.

Recently we took up the challenge to improve the song. Here, we proudly present the return of the warts: Verrucas (enhanced version).
