Story Behind The Song

This song is about a real relationship. Mine. Nearly 51 years of marriage and prior to that 5 years courting and we rarely agree on anything! However, we are still madly in love.

Song Description

An upbeat, jolly love song with a memorable chorus. Well, I remember it.

Lyrics

Two Opposites Collide

I'm all loved up, you're all loved down
I'm all loved down, you're all loved up
I'm in the mood, you ain't around
I'm in the groove, chasin' a sound
When it's the night you act like it's day
When it's the day you act like it's night
You're writing songs, I'm in the way!
You're right, I'm wrong - what can I say?

We're taking it all in our stride
For that's what happens every day
When two opposites collide
When two opposites collide

If I'm the North you must be south
If I'm the South you must be north
When you hold forth I shut my mouth
You shut your mouth when I hold forth
If I am East then you're the West
What I like least is you know best

We're taking it all in our stride...

Sometimes I find you're in my face
'N I wouldn't mind a little space
Some days away sounds like a good plan
'Goodbye' we say, 'phone when you can'

No melody you're chasin'
No whiskers in the basin
No wife wielding power
No golf clubs in the shower
When I make a mess, no-one makes a fuss
It's strange but I guess I miss all that stuff
When something silly makes me laugh, I'm not told to hush
No loving arms around me - no sparks when bare skins brush
No-one to give that special look between the moans and groans
I can't wait to say I love you - is it too soon to phone

I love the fact that I'm your man
I love the fact that I'm your wife
I'm your trouble
Yes you're my strife
To be exact
You're the love of my life

We're taking it all in our stride..
