It's no wonder that Robbie claimed to have no idea what the lyrics were about - the standard response when asked about words that are almost pornographic in nature.
Robbie is singing about a backstage orgy...
Me with the floorshow - Robbie with all the dancers from his show
kicking with your torso - basically a more cryptic way to say "humping" or "thrusting" with the hips.
"wave your hands if you're not with a man" - he is looking for a girl who is still looking for a partner
"I've got the gift" - his "manhood" - "gonna stick it in the goal" - which could have just as easily been "stick it in the girl", then "it's time to move your body"
"Babylon back in business" - means he's back in the saddle, having sex again
"Houston can you hear me, ground control can you feel me, need permission to land" - he's asking for a place to park his "piece"
"I don't wanna rock dj, but you're making me feel so nice", is an apology to his partner, which could just as easily have been called "bj" (and you know what that means), for using too much motion. He can't help responding enthusiastically to the pleasure he is receiving. This interpretation is supported by "give no head, no backstage passes", which is pretty obviously about which groupies get backstage passes - (any questions?)
"have a proper giggle, I'll be quite polite, but when I rock the mic, I rock the mic" - well, it should be clear what "mic" he's rocking (enthusiasticaly).
During this whole process, he's wondering "when's it gonna stop, cause you're "keeping me up" all night" - can you guess how his partner's keeping him up?
"I don't wanna be sleazy, baby just tease me got no family plan" - is about the one way nature of this partnering - with Robbie receiving all the pleasure, and no chance of getting anyone pregnant
"pimping ain't easy, most of them fleece me every night" - is about the fact that Robbie is expected to provide a nightly party scene for his whole troupe, often without any thanks or return of the favour.
He's the pimp, providing the band with girls, and he gets nothing in return for it.
I know this interpretation is kind of disgusting, but hey, Robbie Williams can be a bit of a pig, can't he? I don't think his original intent is as innocent as he implies in his interviews.
