Can I just say that I LOVE this song? It's not only a good, fun song, but it's so utterly perfect for the Doctor and Rose. It is obviously, obviously about her. Rose is the only one the Doctor has ever truly loved. Well, I don't know about the old series, but I think ever since meeting Rose he will never be the same.
It's interesting, like Song For Ten, it's a deceptively happy song. It sounds upbeat and catchy, but then you listen to the lyrics and it's about how the Doctor doesn't know how to go on, because Rose is gone, and all he wants is to be safe and happy, back with Rose. My favorite line is: "A fighting man forgets each cut, each knock, each bruise, each fall, but a fighting man can not forget why his love don't roam no more." The Doctor mentions in the Christmas Invasion that his new hand is a fighting hand, and he's a fighting man. He may be able to forget all of the death, all of the destruction he's seen, been a part of, or caused, but he can never forget why Rose is no longer by his side.
I think that people like Mme de Pompadour were just mild infatuations, and nothing serious. I mean, can you blame the Doctor for falling about for Mme de Pompadour? She's beautiful, charismatic, and such an interesting historical figure. But the line "Oh, my girl, my girl, my precious girl, I love you, you understand" proves to me that Rose is his only love. She promised him forever, and that's what they both wanted. Forever, together, traveling the universe, through time and space.
