Steal the crumbs lyrics Uncle Tupelo

Steal the crumbs


A worn out joke to keep the flies away
Carried it this far
Got the west side winds to keep it steady
We bury the hatchets we find
Could carry that heavy load
If I really thought it would matter
Farcical hair appears
As a blind side, clean the slate
Working in the halls of shame
Lay it down in full view
Lay it down
What the hell were we thinking
Before the fire burned out?
I can't find you now
And I didn't know you then
Loneliness drinks the bitters
Till the cold winds warm again
It's a feel for the game
Mouth open wide, screams and hollers
Working in the halls of shame
Lay it down in full view
Lay it down
I gambled once and won, never made a dollar
And beauty fades to grey
And I pray the very best will guard her
And provide the way
It's a telltale sign
When it's chairs up, and time to go
Working in the halls of shame
Lay it down in full view
Lay it down

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 

The lyrics STEAL THE CRUMBS of UNCLE TUPELO is also present in the album Anodyne (2003)

Biografia

Uncle Tupelo è stato un gruppo musicale alternative country proveniente da Belleville, Illinois, attivo dal 1987 al 1994. Il trio formato da Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy e Mike Heidorn si è formato dopo che il cantante del loro precedente gruppo, The Primitives, ha lasciato per frequentare l'università. Il gruppo ha registrato tre album per Rockville Records prima di firmare con Sire Records e espandersi a un quintetto. Poco dopo la pubblicazione dell'album di debutto per l'etichetta maggiore *Anodyne*, Farrar ha annunciato la sua decisione di lasciare il gruppo a causa di una relazione deteriorata con il suo co-autore Tweedy. Uncle Tupelo si è sciolto il 1° maggio 1994, dopo aver completato un tour d'addio. Dopo lo scioglimento, Farrar ha formato Son Volt con Heidorn, mentre i membri rimasti hanno continuato come Wilco. Tra le canzoni più rappresentative di Uncle Tupelo ricordiamo *No Depression*, *Graveyard*, e *Still Feel the Pain*.
