Listen to the entire album and a small number of tracks aside, I've always felt a theme or story in it. Despite songs like 'Too Much, Too Young' being classic ska and reggae recreations, I see much of the album recounting a bitter love affair with a woman that wasn't really all that. We've all had one at some time or another!
It's echoed in this track, Little Bitch, Stupid Marriage, Too Much, Too Young, Nite Club ("all the girls are slags and the beer tastes just like piss" seems an overview of 'that' type of woman and the places they go), You're Wondering Now and Dawning of a New Era. You could even argue that most of the other tracks are relevant to many stereotypical males of the time if you really wanted to make a story of it.
I just don't see where 'Do the Dog' fits in. Or maybe I do!
