@weeperofsouls Who knows? With the way Martin Gore writes his lyrics, DM songs sometimes have 2 different meanings. I've thought the same on this one.
I wonder which drug he's referring to ... I would hazard a guess at chasing the dragon syringe style. "Wearing the Trousers" = maintaining control over the impossible volatility of a perpetual fix? The rest of the lyrics seem to support this probably widely known theory/meaning ... or am I completely off base here?
@Grenadier311 LOL!!! You know in an interview Martin said that this dong was about his first car, such car was an old junk and broke often but like all of us we felt kings of the world when we drove our first cars (that we bought ourselves not daddy like kids today)
@FallasDeOrigen1 LOL indeed. I stand corrected, and TY for clearing that up. I will be sure to inform my significant other that we were Both dead wrong hotly contesting the meaning of this song taking a ride in her not so reliable car. It makes perfect sense! Ain't it funny how a simple explanation almost always dispels our more exotic presumptions? True, a baloney sandwich bought with one's own hard word Does taste sweeter than any file minion payed for by another who shouldn't be buying :)
the best of the best song for me...

Hey THEFLESHMANN1 or should I say PECKERFLESHMANN1, Obviously someone has been pumping you throat with slimy penis flesh....mann
You need to have your stomach pumped and have the mann loads removed. YOU DISGUSTING SPERM GUZZLER!
Then, have your ears checked for spooge residue, before you comment on music.
It's Depeche Mode to everybody but you... you Depeche Load!
Keep on slurp'n
BTW, fecal matter in you ear canals may explain your lack of musical taste. Go Suck A Rat Dick!
LOL!!!!! YDFAH

Uh, I have to say I've never listened to this group before and I have to say I've heard better sounding toilets flush than this tune.
I don't get you people saying this is a great song or band. They suck!
Try Rammstien if you want industrial banging. Forget about this DM noise!

Is it me or according to most people the best songs are about drugs...
As soon as you mention flying high or whatever it is about drugs...
Damn I always thought love made me feel that way but nope it must have been the drugs which i never used...

@mizmera I am probably not the only one thinking this, but I've always thought this song was about a very successful power exchange relationship.

Alcohol ... pfffff .. as if the fermented barley juice could take you on a ride ...
This song is about "H" and being controlled by it, instead of being in control.
