Uncle Tupelo, the seminal '90s band from Belleville Illinois, is often hailed as the genesis of alt-country. While high school friends Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedyand Mike Heidorn may shirk that credit, their mutual quest to blend punk rockroots with traditional folk classic countrymelodies had a profound effect on rootsmusic. Formed in 1987, Uncle Tupelo released four full-length albums before disbanding in 1994. Tweedy formed the band Wilco, while Farrar formed Son Voltas well as performing solo. now, it's free and you will discover so much great music :) Upload Your MusicFor ArtistsFor LabelsWidgetsDownload Last.fmImage ChartsPlugins & ExtrasData FeedsBlog Badges & LogoTop ChartsWeekly Top ArtistsWeekly Top TracksOverall Tag ChartsFree DownloadsForumsWeb Site SupportLast.fm Client SupportFeedback and IdeasAbout UsContactAdvertiseTeamModeratorsCareersHelpFAQSupportWhat’s NewPrivacySubscribeRecent Updates.

Fifteen Keys Lyrics
Uncle Tupelo
don't the lights look empty
when the streets are bare
almost as empty
as the look you give me
when I'm the only one
and it's a long one
so it brings you down
so say you have nowhere else to go
and nothing to do
so you hang around
you hang around
but you wait around until
you've received that fatal wound
columns of sunlight
and glorious cities
oceans of opportunity
and all your decisions seem ancient
but you wait around until
you've received that fatal wound
