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 .

I sat up all morning and I waited for you
With my blue and grey shirt on
Yeah I thought that's my lucky one
I'll sit and face the road now
I don't have a heavy load now
I got nothing to keep me hanging around here
From now on
Where's the compassion
To make your tired heart sing
I'm tired of being a spokesman
For every tired thing
There's nothing in the world outside
Just some things that I see from the side
I'm just a shy boy sitting in a house
When everyone is gone from now on
I sat up all morning and I waited for you
With my blue and grey shirt on
Yeah that's my favorite one
I sat up all morning so why did you call?
'Cause now I just sing my songs
For people that are gone from now on
