Story Behind The Song

A couple who are just not well matched

Lyrics

Poles Apart





I booked a holiday on the West coast

You headed inland

I had a city break in Sweden

You had one in Finland



When I come home at night

You're always on the way out

When I'm not sure of something

You're never in any doubt



I love to watch comedies on TV

You're hooked on Gothic flicks

Dental floss is a must for me

You just use toothpicks



Chorus



You and me are poles apart

We're like chalk and cheese

You just can't see past Led Zep

I'm content with Squeeze





Verse



There's nothing much between us now

There's no ties that bind

No shared interests to be had

No common goals you'll find





So let's just cut our losses now

We should call it quits

So if we can agree for once

Lets put an end to it
