White Elephant

From Songs About The Weather2010

Written by Andrew Fisher

Lyrics

White Elephant

Remember when we went to the city You held my hand as we got off the train And we just talked for hours As we sheltered out from the rain And I can't sleep And I can't eat And I can't focus on this And I can't sleep And I can't eat And I can't focus And everything you said to me was just a lie Something to make me feel good inside Nothing hurts harder than finding out the truth The one thing you thought you knew And I can't sleep And I can't eat And I can't focus on this And I can't sleep And I can't eat And I can't focus Missing you feels like breathing

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.
