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 .

The Dead Part Of You Lyrics

American Music Club

The price of your soul is less than the cab fare
That gets you home before the living end
The dead part of you leaves me with a blessing
From a destruction of your beauty
Your self-hatred your self-pity
Theres so little of you left
The dead part of you takes me out
And says the beast in me is fading fast
And leaves me with a great big goodbye hug
Its busy clinging to the dead part of the past
You only love one thing
And theres so little of it left
He has taken everything
And theres so little of you left
Youre just a baby in the back seat
That a door slam sends crying into the world
And a cab drivers in a hurry that matters more than
More than anything we can hope for from the world
You only love one thing
And theres so little of it left
He has taken everything
And theres so little of you left
