Intro

Verse

 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

Pre-chorus

 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

Chorus

 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 is a man who looks down on opinion

Pre-chorus

 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

Chorus

 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
