People say a lot of strange things when they're desperate. If the love of your life is standing by the front door, bags packed, a cold look in their eyes and a withering put-down on their lips, that's often when the inner poet is unleashed, and the very heavens are called into service as a malleable tool in your frantic attempts to stop your fragile emotional stability from smashing into tiny pieces on the floor.

And despite it being wrapped in layers of glossy production - and beefed up with steroidal orchestral touches and one of those enormous singalong choruses that is so huge, it's going to make the new Wembley Stadium seem a bit cramped and sweaty - that's exactly what this song is about.
In fact, it's kind of conceptually neat that it has been so artificially enhanced, seeing as it seeks to capture the moment when you're making your last-ditch attempt to transform the cold love-ashes back into a roaring blaze, and, to be fair, a sense of perspective and understatement are the last things on your mind.
"Yeah you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me girl, we can rule the world"
Translation
"Oh God please don't go. I'll do anything. Anything at all. I'll, I'll, clean the toilet. I WILL! I'll do the washing-up every day and I will put flowers on the table three times a week. I'll pick my own pants up and put them in the wash. I'll make you a cup of tea every morning and I will never, ever, ever pick my nose and wipe it on the carpet again..."
And, thinking about it, there's clearly a reason why the Barlow version works and my version doesn't (apart from mentioning snot, which is the biggest passion killer ever). It's that we're all suckers for the idea that our lives are in some way governed by universal forces which we cannot control or see.
So what Gary is actually singing is closer to "you can't go anyway. I've asked , and He says we're supposed to be together forever, or the future of the entire human race is at stake. Is that what you want on your conscience? Is it? Right, so put the bag down and come give me a cuddle".
And you all thought it was just harmless pop music...tsk!
