The members of Bauhaus grew up in a small grey industrial town and I think this song really reflects that. Just like in 'All We Ever Wanted'. But instead of referring to just that one situation it refers to a more universal desire to escape from a typical boring mainstream life. And like Iamanalligator said it could refer to a mental, physical, sexual, or any type of situation, but it means not settling for the norm.
