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 .

Electric Light Lyrics

American Music Club

You got me good, you did the right thing
And nothing matters everythings understood
You did the right thing
Are you gonna be my judge and jury at night
cause Im busy baby with the electric light
Im not afraid of it why are you, why are you
Cmon tell me the truth
I was just a little bit lonely and thats not a crime
I was crying for the very last time i
Was caught blind staring into your electric light
But Im never going back again
Im never going to go back again
At a drink booth for a straight pack in the room
You could see me down here again
That is not a very pretty sight
I can see pretty face but youre raped every night
Its all plain as day in the electric light
But Im never going back again
No, Im never going to go back again
