This song is about Michael's problems with the tabloids and paparazzi (dogs). Black and white bleeding particularly referring to newspaper text. Take a straight line being a reference to the papers not telling a true story in regards Hutchence/Yates. I once also thought coming to the end of my losing streak/straight line was a reference to cocaine but more likely refers to his eventual suicide.
