| Steely Dan – Everything Must Go Lyrics | 20 years ago |

| Steely Dan – Black Friday Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think this is more about the next "Black Friday" that starts the next depression. He's jumping out as soon as possible. The men diving from the fourteenth floor are the next wave of men to commit suicide in the Great Depression fashion. He's going to collect up all the money he can and get out, before his friends - and the police - learn about it. He isn't going to suffer like everyone else. Muswellbrook is a small town in Australia. He is going to escape to there and, having destroyed the records (the red numbers being financial losses), live a life of leisure. He will have jumped ship and live outside the world of worry. He closes by saying that he may have to be creative to evade the authorities, but he'll do it. |
