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 only 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´d 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

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

I told myself, I told myself
And I´ve just worked out that I´m falling apart
I lied to myself, I lied to myself
And I´ve just worked out that I´m falling apart

I told myself, I told myself
And I´ve just worked out that I´m falling apart
I lied to myself, I lied to myself
And I´ve just worked out that I´m falling apart
