Sitting On A Fence Lyrics - Housemartins

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'd rather not get his hands dirty 

He'll still be there when he is thirty
