This is one of the non-instrumental songs on the Buddha of Suburbia. It has a great rhythm. It's obviously a hate song. Not a love song, but a hate song. He's telling the listener that she's 'dead against it.' Maybe she doesn't want to get back together with him? Who knows?
Y'know, I always took this as an honest love song, though the lyrics are intentionally cut-up muddly. Despite Bowie's chronic storytelling I do feel this is inspired by Iman. It's told with such fondness, and I think the closest to sense these lyrics make is as comments on the practical minutiae of a relationship. I never interpreted the title much but it could fit with that if I just say it's how lovers can have differing opinions.
