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 Just Took My Two Sleeping Pills And Lyrics

American Music Club

The world hides like a smile behind your hand
I became hard and cold, your smile became quicksand
I dont know what city Im dailing your number from
I dont know if youll be there or if Ill ever get home
I just took my two sleeping pills
Now Im like a bridegroom standing at the altar
Im not innocent but Im bled dry
And Im stuck wide awake with no dreams in my eyes
Do your worst
Im sure that it couldnt even scratch the crust
Of a case study of a life without trust
I just took my two sleeping pills
Now Im a like bridegroom standing at the altar
Waiting to embrace my new life
With all the love in my heart
Waiting like a bridegroom standing at the altar
And everyday I meet more people that Ill forget
And everyday I become more like someone
That you should forget
I just took my two sleeping pills
Now Im like a bridegroom standing at the altar
Waiting for you to slip your ring around my finger
