I know it is 'soup in the laundry bag', but for the longest time I thought it was 'soap', which makes more sense!!!
Perhaps Brian was just high when he came up with the lyrics, and here we are trying to make sense of them.

Body Language.....I have no idea what in the hell it means, but "knock me down for a six anytime" just sounds dirty....
And GOFLB has "come and sit in my hot seat of love"...lol

"knock me down for a six anytime" is a Cricket term ;)
It is the highest scoring in Cricket I think - maybe to compare with a Homerun in Baseball.

Ah. I'd always thought the strings part was about DRAMA. .. in films you hear strings. Good or bad or suspenseful. I just don't know the lingo of BRITS so I figured I'd ask it.
So if you lose your rag
.... then you can't ... clean with another rag?
I still don't get the figure of speech.
Sorry if I'm dense[/QUOTE]
If you lose your temper it's referred to as 'losing your rag'.

I still don't see what any of this has to do with racist lyrics.

Lol. ^
Too funny day dop
Well. I stand corrected. Lose your rag had nothing to do with pregnancy. My mistake. I probably presumed from having so many married/divorced friends and associates.
Yeah. GDML probably wins. Forgot about that little switcheroosky.
Clever.

Well. Fanny... fatty.... same difference as it accords.
There's that European remark in body language that someone explained before.. But I still think headlong is the best contender. Especially as it confronts problems in relationships.
One thing I don't get completely is the line "now you've got strings you're gonna lose your rag"
I get the rag part. That's usually equated with menstrual cycles. If she's off the rag then she's prego. (Spaghetti sauce) and gonna birth a kid in approx nine months.
Then the attending drama. .. let me out of this cheap b movie (dialogues taking on extremes rather than anything equitable to something dramatic)
It all makes sense
... But will someone please explain the idiom "strings" as it applies to this song penned by Brian May? [/QUOTE]
Rag could refer to a sanitary Towel. Strings could be a tampon...
Seriously though, Rag is temper related. As in losing your Rag.

Lol!
There are so many meanings to certain songs. People construct their own image in their head of how they feel the song is.

Just as Freddie urged us to do. Quite right.
