Lyric discussion by helsbells 

Something has obviously happened to her when she was a child which she was punished for and she has carried the guilt all these years. Maybe something that isnt supposed to happen to a child which is why she says all she really wanted was her father, meaning she just wanted to be able to be 'daddys girl' like a normal typical young girl in childhood.

I am cnfused about this verse, can anyone make any sense of it?:

"I killed a dog so small and rare Touched his techni-coloured hair"

Many references to a dog?????
