Sittin’ on a FenceThe Rolling Stones

[Verse 1]
Since I was young I’ve been very hard to please
And I don't know wrong from right
But there is one thing i could never understand
Some of the sick things that a girl does to a man, so

[Chorus]
I'm still sittin' on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So I’m sittin' on a fence

[Verse 2]
All of my friends at school grew up and settled down
And they mortgaged up their lives
One thing's not said too much, but I think it's true
They just get married cause there's nothing else to do, so

[Chorus][x2]

[Verse 3]
The day can come when you get old and sick and tired of life
You just never realize
Maybe the choice you made wasn't really right
But you go out and you don't come back at night, so

[Chorus]

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
