Two questions I've asked before, but alas I forget the answers and I can't find my old posts :)

1. What does "knock me down for a six" mean? Did we ever deduce this? lol
2. Is it just me or is Roger singing part of Invisible Man other than the "Freddie Mercury!" at the beginning?
"Brian May, Freddie will."
Being English, we use "knock me down for a six" sometimes locally. I think it originates from cricket where you would knock the ball for 6 runs and means in this context that you have scored highly.

It can also mean that because it has been knocked for 6 points the ball must have been hit very hard. "Knock him for six" has been used to describe it when somebody has been punched or kicked very hard.
Dislocate your spine...
Yes, Roger sings at the very beginning.
John: "It's the one thing I wish I could do - sing."
also Roger sings all the chorus "I'm the invisible man, I'm the invisible man"...."Look at me, look at me"
I can resist everything, except temptation
i thought that the knock me down for a six had to do with alcohol. never mind me though im delousional!
your words. not mine.
I thought "for a six" was something like "to make sex", considering the context of the song.
Doh!
six also means a state of delusion
