They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues

gotta put in a plug for the work of one of the sharpest talents I know of: <a href="http://www.christaylormusic.com/mp3/ctay_pricefailure.mp3">The Price of Failure</a> ("the higher up you go the harder you come crashing down") by <a href="http://www.christaylormusic.com/index.html">Chris Taylor.</a> <a href ="http://www.christaylormusic.com/mp3/01worthless.mp3">Worthless Pursuit of the things of the Earth</a> might speak to some...and every trader wishes he had the <a href="http://www.christaylormusic.com/mp3/06secret.mp3">Secret of the Universe</a> at some time.
Oh, yes, and as long as we're talking about Miss Market, we can't forget that she's <a href="http://www.emf-theband.com/audio/unbelievable01.ram">Unbelievable!</a>
And everyone hopes to find Treasure. In order to find this one, you have to go <a href="http://music.lycos.com/videos/">here</a> and click on "I" for "Iona," and select the cut "Treasure."
<font size =1> some songs contain (gasp) God lyrics (ooooooo!) But it's all good cause anyone who knows me knows that when I recommend music, it's a winner.</font>
Man, you got me started on music now....

When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road
When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be
Don't let it fall on me
When Black Friday comes
I'll fly down to Muswellbrook
Gonna strike all the big read words
From my little black book
Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
All the kangaroos
When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill
You know I will
When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna dig myself a hole
Gonna lay down in it 'til
I satisfy my soul
Gonna let the world pass by me
The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me
And if he don't come across
I'm gonna let it roll
When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna stake my claim
I'll guess I'll change my name
(Black Friday)

Good luck - trying to conclusively figure out Steely Dan lyrics is an oddly delightful exercise in futility - but there's a lot of us who keep on trying...

There are links from the official site to discussion boards rife with speculation on the meaning of SD songs...maybe "black cards" will show up somewhere and you'll get a few possibilities...

A fez is a hat worn in the Mideast. In this case, it's slang for a condom.
