Artist/Band: American Music Club
Lyrics for Song: United Kingdom
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - American Music Club



Child keeps it's toys hidden away

Till it wants to break them

Take your share and go away

Make sure you get the last word

Sit back out of harm's reach

Watch the little cup of poison

Chasing it's own tail around and around

Until it's exhausted at it's wits end



United kingdom



I try my best I wait for you to nail me

Now I try and never do

Anything they tell me

'cause waiting about an inch

Under human nature

Tragedies and comedies

And a touching sense of failure



United kingdom



When you held me in your arms

At the limits of your patience

I knew I'd always lose

Every scene of violence

When you held me in your arms

Why didn't you want me

When you held me in your arms

Why didn't you touch me



Well I used to know how

To slip through your blind spot

And now I just watch myself

Set the alarms off

I'm happier now in my shame

And don't look to you for anything



United kingdom


United Kingdom

American Music Club, led by the late Mark Eitzel, carved a distinctive path within the American indie rock landscape, blending elements of folk, country, and punk into a melancholic yet resilient sound. 'United Kingdom' stands as a testament to the band's ability to craft intimate narratives that resonate with universal themes of longing and displacement. The track reflects the group's signature atmospheric production, where Eitzel's emotive vocals float over a backdrop of restrained instrumentation. While the song appears in various collections, it captures the essence of the band's mid-career exploration of identity and place. American Music Club's extensive discography remains a vital resource for fans of introspective songwriting, with this recording serving as a poignant song point into their broader body of work.
