This song is about prostitution in Germany or Eastern Europe... somewhere in Europe.
Martin Gore was living in Germany at the time and he probably fell in love with a young girl who was suffering from poverty and was about to venture off into prostitution in order to earn money.
So basically, he is telling the girl that he wants to get to her first before she loses her innocence and becomes like the rest.
"Before They Do"... That is talking about pimps or people who pay money for sex...
Prostitution is still prevalent among the youth in Eastern Europe & Russia. All you have to do is go visit Germany, Holland, or Dubai to figure that out. So it's no surprise that Martin Gore saw it first hand and wanted to write about "saving" these girls.
"It's Just A Question of Time" before you lose your innocence like the rest of your peers do.
Seems pretty obvious to me that its about a guy who wants to bang a young girl before shes "damaged goods", whether she's about to whore herself, or go out in the big-bad world, or whatever. Just a guy who's saying "hey, SOMEONE is gonna bang you first, so it might as well be ME!" :)
