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 .

It’s Your Birthday Lyrics

American Music Club

The eyes of the world see what they want to see
People always boil things down to nothing
Theyll see your love as worthless and wrong
They eyes of the world leave you with nothing
Its your birthday baby
Heres a gift you should take it
Its your birthday baby
Heres a gift you should unwrap it
Its your birthday baby
Heres some luck you should grab it
Its your birthday baby
Heres a smile you should unwrap it
Theres still a few drinks between you and closing time
If you break her heart youll break your own
Are you afraid that all her roads led right you
Are you afraid that all your roads led right to her
Its your birthday baby
Heres a gift you should take it
Its your birthday baby
Heres a gift you should unwrap it
Its your birthday baby
Heres some luck you should grab it
Its your birthday baby
Heres a smile you should unwrap it
No matter how long you stay with her
You know she loves you
You could make her pain count for something
Even though she hasnt been a girl for very long
Her heart is beautiful, beautiful and strong
Its your birthday baby
Heres a gift you should take it
Its your birthday baby
Heres a gift you should unwrap it
Its your birthday baby
Heres some luck you should grab it
Its your birthday baby
Heres a smile you should unwrap it
