OK, I've addressed the terrier part and maybe that's more comprehensible now -- maybe not 
. I've also changed some of the lineation.
Dale, on "golden brown" -- I wanted to use a romanticised euphemism, not a street term. "Golden brown" is almost always used by people who think, in some weird way, that heroin is a cool thing -- although it's possible the term is used more here and in the UK than in the USA. I also wanted to throw in a couple of song references, so there's that one and "R(ice) is nice(st)", because the music/television industry is just as addictive as heroin (you could probably call the lure of showbusiness a "gateway drug") and it's an impediment to the "normal" progression of growing up, getting married, having a family etc.
Anyway, have done some stuff, might work, might not :p
