‘Line & Sinker’ is a very energetic and agressive song, that was a staple in the bands live set for 10 years after its release. The song is about believing in and empowering yourself, not taking disrespect from anybody and letting negativity get to you. Ben has said about it:
Yeah, ‘what you se...
[Chorus]
What you see is what you get! (Don't you know?)
Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget! (Don't you know?)
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
What you see is what you get! (Don't you know?)
Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget! (Don't you know?)
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
[Verse 1]
Today I don't feel pretty
And I'm tired of trying to fit right in
Don't think that you're so great
'Cause being great must suck
We don't always see the bright side
We all need ego suicide
You hung my ID today
But I have licked my wounds and carried on
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say...
[Chorus]
What you see is what you get! (Don't you know?)
Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget! (Don't you know?)
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
What you see is what you get! (Don't you know?)
Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget! (Don't you know?)
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
[Verse 2]
My heart is in the right place
So wipe that smirk right off your face
Don't make me feel like that
'Cause that's just plain not nice
We don't always see the bright side
And I lied when I said I was fine
You slapped my face today
But I have licked my wounds and carried on
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say...
[Chorus]
What you see is what you get! (Don't you know?)
Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget! (Don't you know?)
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
What you see is what you get! (Don't you know?)
Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget! (Don't you know?)
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
[Bridge]
Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
You stole my luck from me
And now my fortune cookie's empty!
'Cause you came and you stole it all from me!
So stand up straight and firmly say...
[Chorus]
What you see is what you get! (Don't you know?)
Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget! (Don't you know?)
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
What you see is what you get! (Don't you know?)
Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget! (Don't you know?)
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
