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.
