P.S. If I'm not careful, I could see getting sucked into the Queen universe!

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
Wait, that's another band.
Welcome !

I can't think of any nautical-themed Queen songs.

sail away sweet sister
kashoggi's ship
seven seas of rhye
seaside rendezvous
ride the wild wind
[/QUOTE]
While those songs mention water, they're not actually ABOUT water. Sweet Sister is a tribute to Brian's unborn sister; Kashoggi's Ship is about partying; Seven Seas of Rhye is about Freddie's fantasy world; Seaside Rendezvous is about spending time with a loved one; Ride the Wild Wind is about getting away from it all and pushing the envelope (although I don't think that even mentions water at all). All mentions of water are more incidental than actually being the theme of the song itself, while, for example, Yellow Submarine is actually about living in the water, and it also sounds kind of like a sea chanty, so that would be considered nautical.
NOTE: after I wrote all that, I realized that Seven Seas is actually kind of nautical thanks to the "I do like to be beside the seaside," bit at the very end, so I'll give you that.

lots and lots of songs use metaphors - i'm not stupid - i knew that about those songs. but the point is YOU said [b]"nautical themed"[/b]
[b]SASS[/b]'s hook line states [i][b]Sail away[/b] sweet sister [b]Sail across the sea[/b] [/i] [b]Kashoggi's ship[/b] - various metaphors - but they still use nautical themes [i]Everybody drank my wine - you get my [b]drift[/b], And then we [b]took a holiday on - khashoggi's Ship[/b] - well, We really had a good good time - they was all so sexy We was bad, we was blitzed, - All in all it was [b]a pretty good trip[/b], [/i] [b]seven seas of rhye[/b] as you said - the fade out - has the nautical theme
[b]seaside rendezvous[/b] [i]And at the peak of the season [b]The Mediterranean[/b][/i] and [i][b]Underneath the moonlight Together we'll sail across the sea[/b] Reminiscing every night[/i]
[b]ride the wild wind[/b] i'll concede on this one...except for the small point of sailing being the only wind-powered form of transport that you can actually ride

'39 is an amazing song, one of the most perfectly realised Queen songs, both musically and lyrically.

it's NOT a scrap. it's a discussion. if you think this is a scrap then your world must be really cossetted

Ha ha, I'm a bit argumentative sometimes. It's all right, nothing to get too concerned about.
'39 is a very good little song.

Jesus, that's on a par with me saying "I don't like oranges" and then you deducing "Well if you don't like oranges you must have scurvy".
If it's a discussion you can make your points without SHOUTING.

so i've posted four times in this thread and apart from SASS -which is legit abbreviation i have used capitals once
for the word NOT - and you accuse me of shouting?
- show me anywhere (in this thread) where any insults, comments or counter-arguments could be construed as a "scrap" or "shouting"
