Lyric discussion by yellowcab643 

My Mother had an accordion and she made me take piano and guitar lessons after she divorced my dad. She burnt our home when I was in Junior High School and she was also drunk frequently When I lived in the Mormon Valley with her I never attended Church and I heard God was only a dog. English Roses is a song about a girl that was really what you would call an, "ugly dog" . One of my friends drives The Snake dragster and his racing buddy used to call girls you should not choose to date, :ugly dog". I was afraid of peer group pressure and couldn\'t think of dating an ugly dog like the one in this sad song. I\'m reminded how my band in San Francisco (it rains about every day there) left me standing after 2 concerts and caused me almost to die of never reaching my destination..
