Black Friday Rule is one of the original songs the band played live weekly in Molly Malone’s pub in LA. It was first recorded live for Alive Behind The Green Door and then for Swagger. The song is about Dave King’s life right after the death of his first wife, Laura, who died at a young age.
I want to believe in myself once again
So I dream of a man whose hopes never end
To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
I'd give you my heart if you gave me the truth
And for every tear that is lost from an eye
I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy
I want to believe in a freedom that's bold
But all I remember is the freedom of old (Hey)
Well, I lost me a wife so I found me a plane
Flew all the way to California
This mess in my head is a mess getting out
You drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout
But after a while, when my mouth ain't so dry
I'll dance up a storm, sure life's looking fine
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head
'Cause I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as the black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as the black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as the black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as the black Friday rule
The buildings, they shake, but my heart, it beats still
Oh, mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
I want to go home where my feet both feel safe
But there ain't no jobs in the old free state
So I must remain in my new adopted land
I'm doing the best, hell I'm doing all I can
So next time you see me, don't ask for my name
For I am the king and shall long may I reign
'Cause I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people left standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as the black Friday rule
Cause I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people left standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as the black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as the black Friday rule
