Standing on the Moon is the greatest love song ever written, here's why ---
It's true, the song does describe the ugliness of earth and the stupidity of war. It does not contrast this ugliness and stupidity with beauty, but rather asserts that in addition to the ugliness, beauty itself is in short supply ("a scrap of age old lullaby down some forgotten street")
The narrator on the other hand is removed from this crap with true vision and a "lovely view of heaven". That is, the narrator does not need to deal with the ugliness of Earth, and is in a position to live amongst the gods so to speak.
Despite this, he (or she I guess) would still "rather be with you". In this case, "you" being the woman acidrain30005 is trying to woo.
That's some heavy duty love.
