There was a great online book, well blog really, by a crazed fan who became obsessed with the Roses and started to decipher the lyrics. It's called "One Love Story: Old Testament - New Testament". If you can find it online it's worth reading if you're a fan. Anyway he surmised that the whole album is about God, all femine references are to God, a feminine life force if you will. If you look at all the lyrics it does make sense, then look at the album itself, the last song is "I am The Resurection", the second album is titled "The Second Coming". So not a concept album, but a concept band, it's really quite extraordinary. Everything is about the new messiah, and they are trying to draw her out, to accept her role.
Considering the psychedelic influences on the roses, it seems pretty probable that feminine references could be related to the female presence/deity that a lot of people experience.

@JMills I think the idea of every femenine reference actually referring to God could easily to apply to any love. It's like that Christian Rock South Park episode, just replace all of the feminine refernces with Jesus.

@JMills I have images of Jesus crucified on a cross calling out "Daddy Daddy help me, look what they did! While meanwhile his brother sits palm in hand saying "Bro fair do's I love them too but FFS dont get yourself hung over them. As this happens Gods wife is visiting her kid sister the other side of the Galaxy when she gets the news that everythings goneto shit back home. She rushes back and is first confronted with Jesus's brother who says "Ma they're upto their olde tricks again, bringing about a paternal holy than though ideology.". She...

She says "dont worry son, you just carry on enjoying the Sun Rise and Ill sort it all out. Look at the bloody mess they've caused TYPICAL!" Her son smiles confident in the knowledge that although he's not his dads favorite his mum holds a special place for him in her heart. :) He was always the one that favoured his mum and he too was her favorite. The ones that rebel against the paternal BS in life always hold a special place in a womans heart..
