Lyrics

Earl Grey

From I Wish I Could Stay Here2011

Written by Andrew Fisher

Lyrics

Earl Grey

i looked up at your window and pretended i could see you. you don't live there anymore. my mind wanders and i get lost in thoughts of you. i sleep to escape, because drinking kills you anyway. so why when i wake does my heart still ache? your cup is still on the window sill. i'll bring myself to move it soon, but until i do, i'll get lost in thoughts of you. you made the best impression: perfection on the page. the wildest of hearts will never be tamed

Basement on Dork

The June 2026 issue of Dork is available now, featuring Bleachers, Towa Bird and Myles Smith

This month's issue is full of self-belief, slow-burn growth, hard-earned honesty and the sort of records that arrive when artists trust their own instincts.

Basement embrace "the wheels falling off" on their new album 'WIRED'

After major label pressure, near-breakups and some long, honest conversations, Ipswich alt-rock favourites Basement are back doing things their way.

Outbreak Fest 2026 has added Joyce Manor, Loathe and more to its Manchester lineup

Lip Critic, Shady Nasty, I Promised The World and Algernon Cadwallader also among new additions.

Basement have released ‘Head Alight’ as the final track ahead of ‘WIRED’

Their fifth album arrives in May via Run For Cover Records.
