It's Obvious Lyrics
Spending time nowadays
Nowadays it’s nice
It’s paradise
Equal time
Equal spending
Yes it’s nice
It’s paradise
Nowadays you cook eggs
Equal breakfast
And again in bed it’s nice
You’re equal but different
It’s obvious
Spending time nowadays
By my side
That’s oh so nice
And again with you
It’s equal nice
It’s paradise
Nowadays you wash sheets
In the bath
Scrub my back for me
That’s paradise
You’re equal but different
It’s obvious
Spending time nowadays
By my side
That’s oh so nice
And again with you
It’s equal nice
It’s paradise
Nowadays you wash sheets
In the bath
Scrub my back for me
That’s paradise
You’re equal
But different
You’re equal but different
It’s obvious
So obvious
Nowadays it’s nice
It’s paradise
Equal spending
Yes it’s nice
It’s paradise
Equal breakfast
And again in bed it’s nice
It’s obvious
By my side
That’s oh so nice
And again with you
It’s equal nice
It’s paradise
In the bath
Scrub my back for me
That’s paradise
It’s obvious
By my side
That’s oh so nice
And again with you
It’s equal nice
It’s paradise
In the bath
Scrub my back for me
That’s paradise
But different
It’s obvious
So obvious

I remember hearing this on John Peel show back in the early eighties and only recently found it again after some 20 years!
I always thought it was about a balanced relationship with someone where the differences simply mattered in their own context and not affecting the sum of the person. You could be different, with different experiences and not always be together yet each have an equal value and each value both parts of your life.
Which is why I still hear this as; 'Spending time nowadays, By myself, that's oh so nice, and again with you, it's equal nice, it's paradise.'
Oh, bless yr cotton socks. Thankfully, the Au Pairs don't concern themselves with such idealised ideas about romance. So: a snide reference to bullshit claims of the difference between men and women in relationships as simply "equal but different", hiding the fact that the structures of the relationships are actually deeply patriarchal. It's obvious, really.
