Like I Care 01:57
LIKE I CARE It’s alright You don’t care All you non-responders make me feel like such a fucking ghost Don’t you know You “feel the same” The same as what? What-a-mess you want not to be made in your name Who’s that girl? Say you don’t know How dare you shove it in my face with all I fucking did for you Why can’t I say What you mean Is there nothing left of summer but the stench out in the streets? You don’t know What I been through Yeah how you going? Go on, go on, so nothing will ever touch you You don’t say No you don’t feel Do you? Do you? You don’t try, and I can’t want anything What the hell? Why don’t you know? About Patti Smith and Motorhead and all the lady things, you know Go run and hide Don’t try to sleep An empty head in a squalid house and the dole breed punk rock dreams for you It’s alright You don’t care All you non-responders make me feel like such a fucking ghost Don’t you know You “feel the same” The same as what? What-a-mess you want not to be made in your name You don’t know What I been through Yeah how you going? Go on, go on, so nothing will ever touch you You don’t say You don’t feel Do you? Do you? You don’t try, and I can’t want anything It’s alright, it’s okay It’s alright, it’s okay Like I care...

BAD FOR THE BABY What’s a girl like me to do With a self-professed jerk like you Do I really ask too much That you treat me with some self-respect Why should I except the rule Your actions are your only words It’s bad for the baby Don’t throw me out with the rest I want an explanation Want your time, what’s the crime? So what’s that pretty mouth for? Wipe my lipstick off your face Who crowned you king of Kansas? Omigod, you’re so good Yeah I mean you’re just too clean For experience or anything No matter how many packs a day Or pills your way, or what you say Juswanna call, just gotta say How we fucked up the youth of today It’s bad for the baby Don’t throw me out with the rest I want an explanation Want your time, what’s the crime? So what’s that pretty mouth for? Wipe my lipstick off your face Who crowned you king of Kansas? Omigod, you’re so good You say you’d make a better friend Honey my friends don’t treat me like that No one listens to what you say And I don’t wanna see you again Don’t you worry your pretty head I won’t lose no more sleep in bed It’s bad for the baby Don’t throw me out with the rest I want an explanation Want your time, what’s the crime? So what’s that pretty mouth for? Wipe my lipstick off your face Who crowned you king of Kansas? Omigod, you’re so good, so good, so good It’s bad for the baby

STEALING FROM CHILDREN I wake up every morning and I’m mad about you The shoes that I wear are falling apart too Why would you leave me when you say that you love me? You know I’m the best you’ll ever have Subtract your heart, no it just ain’t smart Ball and chain, you won’t remember my name Subtract your heart, no it just ain’t smart Ball and chain, you don't know I wake up every morning and I’m mad about you The shoes that I wear are walking backwards too Why would you leave me when you say that you love me? You know I’m the best you’ll ever have Ball and chain, you won’t remember my name Subtract your heart, no it just ain’t smart Ball and chain, you won't remember my name Subtract your heart, no it just ain’t smart I wake up every morning and I’m mad about you The shoes that I wear are walking backwards too Why would you leave me when you say that you love me? You know I’m the best you ever had Subtract your heart, no it just ain’t smart Ball and chain, you won’t remember my name Subtract your heart, no it just ain’t smart Ball and chain, you don't know Subtract your heart, no it just ain’t smart Ball and chain, you won’t remember my name Subtract your heart, no it just ain’t smart Subtract your heart, subtract your heart

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).

These three songs appeared on a 7" EP "Bad for the Baby" on Gene Melkisethian's label Moonflower Records in 2009. This was Partyline's final release and has never been available digitally until now. Gene is Angela's brother and Partyline's sometimes drummer (when Crystal was in grad school)!
