Lyrics

[Intro]

One, two, three, four

One, two, three, four

One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]

Well, I watch you tangle every weekend

It might start different, but it ends up the same

One minute you're casually speaking

The next it all goes up and you pour fuel on the flame

With your jerrycan of words and tones

[PreChorus]

And no one's gonna start a revolution

So we best leave it well alone

And there's something that Frankie used to say

[Chorus]

Apparently, oh, he says, settle for a draw

Well, you're not gonna get no more

So you should settle for a draw

I told you once I'm sure

I told you once I'm sure

You should settle for a draw

Why don't you settle for a draw?

[Verse 2]

Well, you're right, it is one set of rules for her

And then another set for you

But that's just the way it is, I suppose

And there's nowt you can do

And let's not fall in the trap of answering back

I am just a beginner

But she'll be the only winner, that's for sure

So take the draw if it's available

And if it sets on fire, don't get out your

Jerrycan of words and tones

[PreChorus]

And no one's gonna start a revolution

So we best leave it well alone

And there's something that Frankie used to say

[Chorus]

Apparently, oh, he said, settle for a draw

Well, you're not gonna get no more

So you should settle for the draw

I told you once I'm sure

I told you once I'm sure

You should settle for a draw

Why don't you settle for a draw?
