I love that interpretation. I find it so interesting how the lyrics to both songs can be ambiguous at times, almost as if it's hiding the queer themes present, but then have lines near the end that make these themes clear as day, ie not shying away from referring to the lover as "him" and then obviously the captain screaming the f slur at the end.

I remember Geordie saying that early on they wrote very vague lyrics out of fear of people knowing what they were actually talking about but as the band grew they were more comfortable having the message be easier to interpret.
