@Floyddead There is no drug reference here, but there is a double meaning. "Blowing your lines" is a common reference to not knowing the script when you are making a scene in a movie. Making a scene also refers to causing commotion in a group setting. In this case, tripping on your tongue while throwing a hissy fit in front of everyone. When I was (a lot) younger I had the same question about the lyric, and a friend of mine said - "yeah, you know when your making a scene in a movie and you mess up your lines" - so he got the meaning as an early teen.... I know coke is known as blow, and comes in a line typically, and the music industry in the 70s and 80s was full of it, so I understand where that interpretation would come from. Oates has confirmed in interviews they weren't a party drug band - because they actually wanted to succeed. I think a drug reference here is unlikely even metaphorically. |
