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 .

Love Doesn’t Belong Lyrics

American Music Club

An agony waiting for someone to tell you to shut up
But dont stop even if theres no moon to hold you
Or any other lifeless rock
I can tell you put all your hopes into the shoes you buy
Your loneliness has feet that walk its got wings that fly
And it does sing a song
Love doesnt belong to anyone
They dont see the coffin only the nails their lights
Too bright for your home movies
Theyll set you adrift disappointed and starving
But never as hungry as the sharks
Your desperate suit made out of puppet strings
Doesnt last very long
Desperate in the quiet
Youre sinking below mouthing the words to some
Old sixties song, a quiet song
Love doesnt belong to anyone
When youre finally silenced and led into alleys
And led into dark corners where no one can hear
Where what you say doesnt lead anywhere
But darker corners of your fear
There must be more to it
Than the pilgrims hateful dream of love and peace
I know Ive had that vision too
An old key on a rusty chain of keys
A key that turns you your whole life long
Love doesnt belong to anyone
