American Music Club(often abbreviated AMC) is a San Francisco-based band led by singer-songwriter Mark Eitzel. They've been recording and playing in SF clubs since the mid 1980's, showing a remarkable longevity for a band that has been far more critically acclaimed than financially successful. Although commonly lumped with other bands from the " slowcore" and " sadcore" movements, like the Red House Painters, AMC is better known for mastering the disparate strands of American music into a wholly unique synthesis all their own. Although born in California, frontman Mark Eitzel spent his formative years in Great Britain and Ohio before returning to the Bay Area in 1980. After a brief stint with the punk band he founded American Music Club in 1983 with guitarist Vudi, bassist , keyboardist Brad Johnson, and drummer .

At My Mercy Lyrics

American Music Club

I hold your dress, your dress is blue
Im a coin that fell into the sea
Now stumbling around, Im lost from view
Do you know what became of me
He can see with his eyes closed
Hell leave you something to remember him by
Valentine said no way out
No way out and no goodbye
Now youre finally at my mercy
Now youre at my beck and call
You were born with just one kiss
Thats all it took
He comes to this bar, he gets desperate
Hes been shot and killed by love
Sits at the bar thinks about all those angels in heaven
And offer him to the overpass above
I hold your dress, your dress is blue
I am a coin that fell into the sea
Stumbling around but now Im lost from view
On the losing side of eternity
Now youre finally at my mercy
Now youre at my beck and call
You were born with just one kiss
Thats all it took
