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 .

Ex-girlfriend Lyrics

American Music Club

Your ex-girlfriend told me you were having a bad time
Day-to-day life shouldnt be what its all about
Day-to-day life is something we all know too much about
I guess you got no one to take care of you
Your ex-girlfriend told me you spent all yesterday crying
Hey I didnt know things were going so bad for you
Maybe youre just trying to get her to come back to you
Or work your way out of the cynical attitudes
That protect you
Bad habits make our decisions for us
You should try remember
All youre holding is a handful of dust
Its not even closing time
And already stars are falling out of the sky
Youre all lit up, you gotta do something
Ill help you try
Your ex-girlfriend told me you spent all yesterday crying
Now do you believe the stories
When youre lifes not buying
I guess you got no one to take care of you
