Lyric discussion by chromiums 

Actually HungBeachBoy was close. When Depeche Mode started out Vincent Clarke was a member of the band. He came out of the closet and the rest of the guys didn't want him to. He went on to form Yaz and then Erasure. Depeche is just saying maybe if he didn't tell the world he was gay, they would be more successful like Depeche Mode was. This is kind of criticism of Vincent Clarke by Depeche Mode.

Vincent Clarke is not homosexual. He is married. Andy Bell, the other member of Erasure, is homosexual.

sorry, "married to a woman"
