Back in early high school my favourite band was Queen.
My mate's favourite band was Pink Floyd.
And we would spend sleep over's trying to educate the other ignorant one why my 1 great band is better than your 1 great band.
Now, even at that nascent age i was somewhat concerned about Queens sometimes flippant use of word or genre, as oppossed to the almost always weighty floyd.
Hence my mate almost in exasperation asks when this was playing
"ok what does it's late but not too late mean?!"
I was amazed that this was one of 2 songs he ever questioned the songmeanings of. Not seaside reandevouz, not the fairyfeller's masterstroke?
It's about a relationship, a failing relationship, her saying it's too late, him saying not yet. It was literal and figurative at the same time, ie same night, go away, it's late, him it's not too late, let me stay.
(the other queen song he questioned/incriminated was 39.
When did the second world war start i retorted?
that shut him up.
little did i know it was about a time travelling space man)
