Sitting on a Fence Lyrics

    Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense in fighting
    Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense at all
    Sitting on a fence is a man who strokes his twenty beards
    Sitting on a fence is a man who drink real ale
    But the real problem with this man
    Is he says he can't when he can
    He'd rather not get his hands dirty
    He'll still be there when he's thirty

    I told myself to keep my mouth shut
    But I still end up saying if and but
    I lied to myself right from the start
    And I've just worked out that I'm falling apart
    Sitting on a fence

    Sitting on a fence is a man who looks up to his guardian
    Sitting on a fence is a man who swings from poll to poll
    Sitting on a fence is a man who sees both sides of both sides
    Sitting on a fence is a man who looks down on opinion

    But the real problem with this man
    Is he says he can't when he can
    He's rather not get his hands dirty
    He'll still be there when he is thirty

    I told myself to keep my mouth shut
    But I still end up saying if and but
    I lied to myself right from the start
    And I've just worked out that I'm falling apart
    Sitting on a fence
