Animal Nitrate is the third track from Basement’s EP Further Sky.
Further Sky was released on 28 July 2014, and was the band’s first release since their 2012 album Colourmeinkindness, and the hiatus that followed.
Happy morning, there's a night
That's finished rising
When I wake to share my ache
Your eyes are closed and crying
Up is down and in is out
And you are lying
Summer here is nothing, dear
Don't bore yourself with flying
It was only for an hour
It was only for an hour
It was only for an hour
It was only for us
Put it on a shelf and
Carry on without it
Fill your leaving back with drag and
Never stop to doubt it
Smells of piles of ginger
Honey, you're allowed it
Catch the sun and one by bun
And cry because you found it
It was only for an hour
It was only for an hour
It was only for an hour
It was only for us
It was only for an hour
It was only for an hour
Jet was written by Andrew Fisher.
