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 drinks 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
