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.
Everybody let me tell you about my love
Brought to you by an angel from above
Fully quipped with a life time guarantee
Once you try it I am sure you'll see
Without love there's no reason to live
Without you what would I do with the love I give
All my loving to you I'll be giving
And I promise this I'll do as long as I'm living
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That makes me love now I'm living in ecstasy
Hey it's you and the things you do to me
That makes me love you now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you...
Hey it's you...
All the time he makes me glad that I'm alive
Together we will survive
What do you think brought the sun out today
It's love baby love oh how can I say
Without love there's no reason to live
Without you what would I do with the love I give
All my loving to you I'll be giving
And I promise this I'll do as long as I'm living
I'm thinking of you...
Hey it's you...
I can't live without you tell me what you want to do
Here comes the D on the menu
L.O.V.E. love coming straight from the heart
Stucked from the day we started
My fire taking me higher hard to admit but you1re my desire
She's the girl making me feel brand new
I can't live without you
Without love there's no reason to live
Without you what would I do with the love I give
All my loving to you I?ll be giving
And I promise this I?ll do as long as I'm living
Brought to you by an angel from above
Fully quipped with a life time guarantee
Once you try it I am sure you'll see
Without love there's no reason to live
Without you what would I do with the love I give
All my loving to you I'll be giving
And I promise this I'll do as long as I'm living
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That makes me love now I'm living in ecstasy
Hey it's you and the things you do to me
That makes me love you now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you...
Hey it's you...
All the time he makes me glad that I'm alive
Together we will survive
What do you think brought the sun out today
It's love baby love oh how can I say
Without love there's no reason to live
Without you what would I do with the love I give
All my loving to you I'll be giving
And I promise this I'll do as long as I'm living
I'm thinking of you...
Hey it's you...
I can't live without you tell me what you want to do
Here comes the D on the menu
L.O.V.E. love coming straight from the heart
Stucked from the day we started
My fire taking me higher hard to admit but you1re my desire
She's the girl making me feel brand new
I can't live without you
Without love there's no reason to live
Without you what would I do with the love I give
All my loving to you I?ll be giving
And I promise this I?ll do as long as I'm living

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."

The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
