UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED Oh honey I love you But what if we don’t need you? There’s something that I want to say You have no faith in youth today Yes dear, we love you We’d be nowhere without you Your tactics are so nice and fine But when you have no voice you turn to crime Ah! You say we should be reading Instead of watching TV But can’t you see we’re teething On modern life and lies to be The things that matter to you Like joining the ACLU But only voting just won’t do With all I want to do to you Ah! Unsafe at any speed You won’t think I’m very smart But you will see right from the start That I can surely break your heart Don’t let life tear us apart What about my body rights? For the right to yours, I’m gonna fight You can’t deny, you know I’m right You know I’ll take you home tonight Ah! So go run in your election I ain’t got no profession Aside from True Confessions Fuck Bush and Gore, you’re number one Oh honey I love you At night I’m dreaming of you Oh honey I love you Oh no, honey don’t love you

GIRLS WITH GLASSES I don’t wanna sleep no more I just want you on my floor Same old line I heard before Makes me want you more and more I don’t know just what to do Just what I want to do to you Yeah I mean don’t say we’re through Call me up, don’t act so cool Ooo ooo ooo Of course you like girls with glasses Girls with glasses ‘cause we’re smart Don’t forget we’re smart and ugly Dumb and pretty break your heart I don’t wanna fight no more Baby I’ll kick down your door Makes me want you more and more Ain’t no girl like me before Never know just what to say You just wanna make me pay I could leave or I could stay I just wanna get my way Ooo ooo ooo Can you handle girls with glasses? Girls with glasses run this town Don’t go mess with girls with glasses Watch these girls, they’ll run you down I don’t wanna sleep no more Baby I’ll kick down your door I don’t know just what to do Just what I want to do to you I don’t wanna fight no more…

No Romantic 01:30
NO ROMANTIC I want something more than this Lame half-assed town that poisons kids No more breeding, no more babies How do I fit into this? Don’t believe in your romantic Don’t want no more good ol' guys Gimme your all that’s got no balls Partyline will blow your mind Gimme something to grab onto All the hair that you can grow Gimme something to react to Don’t go baby please don’t go Don’t hate me, let me love you I don’t know, I don’t know Don’t love me, let me hate you I don’t know, I don’t know Family pictures on the wall Try to tell me you’re well bred Gimme head or gimme justice No one cares when they’re well fed Can’t you see that we’re still standing In your face, that’s what I said Gimme something to grab onto All the hair that you can grow Gimme something to react to Don’t go baby please don’t go Don’t hate me, let me love you I don’t know, I don’t know Don’t love me, let me hate you I don’t know, I don’t know Don’t hate me, let me love you I don’t know

CICADA SUMMER Oh no, you can’t stand me anymore And I know you will just walk out the door You can’t tell me what to do All you can do is say we’re through It’s not you, I’ll say that it’s me We don’t need you anyhow It’s cicada summer now What if I don’t know what to do with you And what if I don’t want to do without you You just want to have control Maybe I’m just growing old But you don’t love me as I am We don’t need you anyhow It’s cicada summer now Don’t you try to keep us down We’re cicada underground And we want more You know I spent all I have on you And I have nothing left now that we’re through Take for granted, take from me And all you wanted me to be So of course I just let you down I always said I’d be gone before cicada summer But I don’t know what kept me here All these years buried underground But just you wait and see, I will be born anew So today we rise, just to explode on you Hey you got to break me see me fall And okay, I just wanted you to call Why you need to see me beg You want me to ask you back But I can’t take it anymore, oh no

about

Out of the ashes of the Washington, D.C., suburban dude music scene crashed the three ladies of Partyline! Armed with politics, punk and a penchant for partying (and sharing phone lines), they thrashed vigilantly against boredom, the Bush regime and body control! Girls with glasses, squash you like a bug!

Partyline consists of the usual suspects: singer Allison Wolfe (Bratmobile, Cold Cold Hearts, riot grrrl, Ladyfest, etc.), guitarist Angela Melkisethian (Savage Boys & Girls Club, Crucial Defect, Hott Beat, as seen on American Idol, etc.), and drummer Crystal Bradley (the Homewreckers, etc.). Fusing partying and politics to perfection, Partyline songs nail such hot topics as consumer advocate/Presidential candidate Ralph Nader (“Unsafe at Any Speed”), brainy broads (“Girls with Glasses”), female trouble (“No Romantic”), and feeling trapped like a bug (“Cicada Summer”), etc.
