But will someone please explain the idiom "strings" as it applies to this song penned by Brian May?

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

"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.

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.

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 ...

It could mean something suggestive with that wording, but in the context of that song I'd say it means more like holding onto a car's rollcage as it goes around a corner at speed.

Lol Other songs with "race" in the lyrics : RTWW with "Check out of this rat race", and I'm in Love with my Car has "Get a grip on my boy racer roll bar", which sounds kinda suggestive to me. ... and the whole "ADATR" album, maybe? ;)
