It's no secret that Dave has had problems with drugs, including heroin. Examination of the lyrics of this song lean more towards heroin addiction than other suggested explanations. "Taking a ride with my best friend" - heroin. "Never let me down" - heroin. "Safe as houses" - heroin, no problem, we got you. "As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers" - heroin, the one in control (wearing the trousers).

Others have suggested homosexuality as an underlying tone. While it's no secret that Martin Gore and Vince (Vincent) Clark are gay, Dave is not. He has had two wives and at least as many kids. If you want music with homosexual undertones, listen to Pet Shop Boys or, more obviously, Erasure (Vince Clark & Andy Bell). Besides, you have to REALLY stretch it to make this song about homosexuality - and that connection just isn't there.
