Like all good art, the lyrics to Depeche Mo songs such as "Master and Servant" and "Strangelove" leave room for terpretatn. In the small mds of young homophob, most terpretatns erred on the si of man-on-man dungeon sex ssns filled wh dgs, oils and punishment. In "Strangelove," lead volist Dave Gahan sang: "strange highs and strange lows. Strangelove, that's how our love go. …Pa. Will you return ?" In "Master and Servant" he sang about a new game that's a lot like life, a "play between the sheets. Wh you on top and me unrneath, fet all about equaly." The latter song only fed mors that the band was gay by featurg a crackg whip sound as part of the beat.
