Uncle Tupelo

Uncle Tupelo was an alternative country music group from Belleville, Illinois, active between 1987 and 1994. Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy, and Mike Heidorn formed the band after the lead singer of their previous band, The Primitives, left to attend college. The trio recorded three albums for Rockville Records, before signing with Sire Records and expanding to a five-piece. Shortly after the release of the band's major label debut album Anodyne, Farrar announced his decision to leave the band owing to a soured relationship with his co-songwriter Tweedy. Uncle Tupelo split on May 1, 1994, after completing a farewell tour. Following the breakup, Farrar formed Son Volt with Heidorn, while the remaining members continued as Wilco. more »

It's a long way to heaven
It's a short way to hell
Painkillers won't help
When the weight's not yourself

They're poisoning the air
For personal wealth
It's a long way to heaven
It's a short way to hell

I don't know what I'm breathing for
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore
The weatherman says "fair"
But he looks like a lie

Nothing's free in this country
And there's no place to hide, no more
Industrial wind
It blows from the west

It'll burn out your eyes
And suck out your breath
It's waiting in the wings
For damage down the line

Save your tears for the soaps
Leave your money behind
I don't know what I'm breathing for
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore

The weatherman says "fair"
But he looks like a lie
Nothing's free in this country
And there's no place to hide no more

No place to hide, no more
