This is my favourite song of all time ever (well the 12" version!). It always sends a shiver down my spine when the guitars kick in. As it did to Barney too apparently, because Rob Gretton threw a snowball down his back while he was recording the vocals, hence some of the 'oohs'.
Barney's said he'd taken half a tab of acid during the recording of the song and was trying to write a love song, but was out of it and the lyrics don't mean anything at all.

"Introducing the song at a performance at the Zurich Volkshaus in 1984, Bernard Sumner told the audience, "This next song's called 'Temptation'. It's a story about long lost love.""
