This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
Easy girl
Easy girl
Don't stop
What's the matter with you?
Don't stop
Don't stop
What's the matter with you?
Don't stop
I...! Don't be ridiculous
Religious whore
Mystic harlot
Waltz me down
These streets of grime
Exposing her mind
For the pleasure of freaks
What's her reason
What's she here for
Easy girl
Easy girl
The wicked world rides on her back
The wicked world rides on her back
The wicked world rides on her back
The wicked girl lies on her back
(How we doin' honey)
(Okay honey, okay, alright)
Can she feel
But tragic visions
There's no one here
To kiss her mouth shut
Easy girl

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
