The third track on the Pinch Me single. Inline Bowline was written and sung by BNL bassist Jim Creeggan. Despite the upbeat music, this song is about a friend who commits suicide via hanging.
[Chorus] (x2)
Inline bowline
Inline bowline
[Verse 1]
First you tie it around your hand
You showed me so I would understand
It's the handiest knot
It wasn't in the book that I bought
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
We all were tying knots at the game
We all were glad that he came
We toyed with tying the noose
No one knew he'd give it use
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Did he think that he was nothing
Only ending his life was left to try?
Over turned over I'm left to sing
Really why?
Really why?
Really why?
Really why?
I've used it to tie up my canoe
(Used it to tie up my canoe.)
I've used it to tie my shoe
(Used it to tie my shoe.)
It's handy on a whim
(Handy on a whim.)
This knot is tied to him
Tied to him
Tied to him
Tied to him
[Chorus]
(Inline bowline.)
Tied to him
(Inline bowline.)
Tied to him
Inline bowline
(Why? Really why?)
Inline bowline
(Why? Really why?)
Inline bowline
(Tied to him.)
