Just been listening to Brian may's 'My Boy', from the cd 'Lullabies With A Difference' (1998). IMO this is among Brian's best slower songs and I'm not ashamed to say that it always brings a tear to my eye (and I have two glass eyes, so that's some achievement). Wonder why it never made it on to a solo album? I guess it's not really in the style that Queen took from the 1980s onwards, but it could've worked on a solo album. Lyrics borrowed from YouTube, where you can find the whole song.
Lyrics:
Strange how soon the party's over
I should know by now
My hand no longer guides your footsteps
Now you guide your own
And all that's left is the sound of your voice
And your face as you were on the screen
Hush, don't you cry
There'll be no pain
The bad wolf is gone
He'll have no part of our game
All too soon the dream world's fading
Says farewell

Since my boy became a man
Don't make it too soon
My small boy

(he had a party with a guy)
My hand no longer guides your footsteps
Now you guide your own
(they were too drunk and he guided him)
And all that's left is the sound of your voice
And your face as you were on the screen
Hush, don't you cry
There'll be no pain
(hmmm he's referring to sex!!!)
The bad wolf is gone
He'll have no part of our game
All too soon the dream world's fading
Says farewell
Since my boy became a man
(a very explicit homosexual sentence)
Don't make it too soon
My small boy
(oh my god!!!he's a pedophile!!!oh Brian how could you????)
