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 .

Here They Roll Down Lyrics

American Music Club

Here they roll down
Like a miracle thats over
Here they slow down
Like a miracle thats over
Tell them for me as you see them speeding by
That their lights dont light the way
Tell them for me if you can catch their eye
That Id never stand in their way
Here they roll down
Like a miracle thats over
Here they slow down
Like a miracle thats over
You cant find as youre speeding by
Anywhere you want to stop
You cant find as youre speeding by
Anyone to raise you up
Here they roll down
Like a miracle thats over
Hey you slow down
Like the miracle was over
If your broken face can find a lover
Give away your chance to fly
Give away your will power
Hey look at me Im free
You can hear them fall out
You can see them toss it up
You can be caught in their lights as they flash by
You can go with them without knowing why
