I would say a double entendre between drugs (blow, lines), the fact that they're arguing a lot, or that she's making everyone freak out upon seeing how beautiful she is. It's an interesting line, no doubt.

@Floyddead the first poster is correct that it's a double entendre - "blowing the lines when you're making the scene" means snorting cocaine, and, just saying whatever makes her look cool, true or not

@Floyddead I think it means means she's rehearsed some kind of speech to give him at a dramatic moment in an argument they're having, but the lines don't reflect her true feelings so she messes up on the words.

@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...

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.
Does anyone know what "watch you blowin' the lines when you're making a scene" means??
