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 .

Well you dont want me to touch you
You just want me to shut up
You dont want me to think what Im thinking
Or the devil in my throat to come up
And you get so nervous that everythings a joke
If I have to be this lonely
I may as well be alone
So I go back to my room
To my room by the freeway
I fall onto my bed like snow
Like the cold I never woke you
And the killing followed me home
Hey whats song you whistling
If I have to be this lonely
I may as well be alone
When you wake up in the morning
You wont remember that anyone was here
And that life is so rewarding
And I guess that youre the grand prize my dear
When you wake up in the morning
You wont remember that anyone was here
If I have to be this lonely
I may as well be alone
