@petaljuice I thought lined was an Aussie term for stoned

@petaljuice I thought the lyric was MALIGNED... she turned against the Vietnam Vet because of the war... that's what I thought the meaning was

I just received an email from azoriancollective which says lined means she had aged. This sounds correct in the context and I'm convinced. Thanks for the info. I have been too shy/lazy to ask the composer but I'm convinced he would agree with this interpretation.

It means she had that sun-fucked Aussie face where he'd recently been with those Asian beauties. Ahhhhh…. (spent a year working in Malaysia…. those tight-skinned girls….!). Actually, coming back, found I quite liked the sun-fucked Aussie face...

Can someone tell me what 'lined' means in the second stanza:
"Saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her She was lined, and I was home to the lucky land"
