Housemartins - Sitting On A Fence lyrics

Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense in fighting<br>Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense at all<br>Sitting on a fence is a man who strokes his twenty beards<br>Sitting on a fence is a man who drink real ale<br>But the real problem with this man<br>Is he says he can't when he can<br>He'd rather not get his hands dirty<br>He'll still be there when he's thirty<br><br>I told myself to keep my mouth shut<br>But I still end up saying if and but<br>I lied to myself right from the start<br>And I've just worked out that I'm falling apart<br>Sitting on a fence<br><br>Sitting on a fence is a man who looks up to his guardian<br>Sitting on a fence is a man who swings from poll to poll<br>Sitting on a fence is a man who sees both sides of both sides<br>Sitting on a fence is a man who looks down on opinion<br><br>But the real problem with this man<br>Is he says he can't when he can<br>He's rather not get his hands dirty<br>He'll still be there when he is thirty<br><br>I told myself to keep my mouth shut<br>But I still end up saying if and but<br>I lied to myself right from the start<br>And I've just worked out that I'm falling apart<br>Sitting on a fence
