This song was actually a critique of Erasure. Vincent Clarke was originally with Depeche Mode on the original album. But he wanted to come out of the closet. David Gahan said, no don't spoil a good thing. Vincent then left the group to form Yazoo/Yaz, and then later with Andy Bell to form Erasure. However, Erasure didnt' make it as big as Depeche Mode because of their "lifestyle". So Depeche Mode was just saying things would have been different if you would just lie about playing for the other team.
