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 .

Jesus’ Hands Lyrics

American Music Club

Well Id like to hang out
But I can tell that youre not a drinking crowd
I got places to go, people to see
I got a thirst that would make the ocean proud
Hey brother, hey sister
Dont you see a crack form in the dam
For a loser, no one can touch him
Hes out slipping through jesus hands
Im walking in circles in a waiting room
For a welcome I dont feel in my soul
I watch the time pass, it pours in my glass
I drink it down, blood from a stone
Hey brother, hey sister
Dont you see a crack form in the dam
For a loser, no one can touch him
Hes out slipping through jesus hands
Looking for love in all the wrong places
The sidewalks and the sky
Looking for something that no one can give me
And no one can help me buy
Oh brother, oh sister
Dont you see a crack form in the dam
For a loser, no one can touch him
Hes out slipping through jesus hands
Well Id like to hang out
But I can tell that youre not a drinking crowd
I got nowhere to go, no one to see
I got a thirst that would make the ocean proud
