I also heard that. In a biography i have written that Freddie was really into the Munich gay scene when queen were recording Hot Space. Brian didn't like some lyrics Freddie wrote so some things were changed....Makes me wonder if there are more out-takes apart from the available ones

Well, that sounds like the slang for "virility" (as in the ability to have a prolonged erection). It's either that or I'm way off-course. (http://www.fundiscoveries.com/sex-advice-articles/for-men/staying-power-viagra-etc/staying-power.htm)
I'm not sure if Barry White meant the same thing with his "Staying Power", or why Queen's lyrics specify that "you and me we got Staying Power".
It must be something else then. It's just a hypothesis, do not throw with stones.

Body Languaje aside, a lot of HOT SPACE is 'sexually oriented' in terms of 'meaning'. I also remember Peter telling that Freddie's original opening line from what later become Life Is Real was "C*nt stains on my pillow". Sorry if I offended somebody, but that is indeed true. I wonder what Freddie was in at that time... ;-)

Maybe Staying Power refers to longevity of loving - in all it's forms - physical, emotional, etc.
