That or, "a rock and a hard place".
Last evening I told myself not to do this, but I'm not thinking as clearly this morning, so here goes:

Same thing that "I are the egg man, I am the walrus!" means.
Well I am a late bloomer.
The line was actually written by Peter Allen, for an unpublished song he wrote with Carole Bayer Sager.
When that didn't pan out, they shelved it, until Sager used it during her collaboration with Cross and Burt Bacharach on the movie theme.
According Allen, his plane got stuck in a holding pattern waiting to land at JFK airport in New York, the view out his window inspiring the line.
