SONG: Settle for a Draw
ALBUM: When The Sun Goes Down EP
YEAR: 2006
LYRICS:
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 Jerry can of words and tones
And no one's gonna start a revolution
So we best leave it well alone
And there's something that Frankie used to say, 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?
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 lets 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 jerry can of...
...words and tones
And no one's gonna start a revolution
So we best leave it well alone
And there's something that Frankie used to say, 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

I remember working in a record shop in Sheffield back in 2006 and everyone was going mad about whatever people say I am. At first I didn't know why then a couple of weeks later I was like fuck it I'm buying it. Never regretted it to this day.

[@bangjay21]

i bought it here in the Philippines 2007 and its rare at that time. The album sounds so great!! awesome!

I'm from Sheffield. I remember when I was like 7-8 my dad had an arctic monkeys cd with all these songs on it, it wasn't the album, so I'm assuming it was beneath the boardwalk; pure mad tunes.

I have listened to the majority of their music but finding this for the first time...

[@bimbowithadegree420]

I respect the Monkeys so much, is one of the only bands that has the same quality in their b sides as their actual singles.

[@distortion1222]

Have you heard Muse B Sides?

[@bimbowithadegree420]

Distortion tbs don't listen to Muse much. All the songs I know are the mainstream ones but I don't doubt they have good b sides.
