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 .

Miracle On 3rd St. Lyrics

American Music Club

Cmon lets waste another thousand years
Sitting around your kitchen table
Well turn the brandy into beer
Later theyll say, what a miracle.
You say all you need is a right position
cause nothing in this world helps you to see
You say that you never do it
Unless someone gives it to you for free
You say I never listen to you
Well youre right about that
But I thought that I love you
More than that
I know youre strong enough to live
In a world where are the magics gone
I watch your hands tremble, you reach for another sip
Now all your luck is gone
Look at the moon aint it pretty at night
Dont look away give it a chance for once
In its own way its just alive as any of us
In any way its where you face
You say I never listen to you
Well youre right about that
But I thought that I love you
More than that
