he looks like simon amstell kinda lol and in the first verse you can clearly her him say face twice... and late on when it repeats like 6 times, you can her face here and there, he does say both if you listen carefully, "Your face" "The fench"
@Ctsmith18 Yep! Not sure if it's the boiler suits, or the quirky tunes / lyrics, but they also remind me loosely of a pop version of Devo. Gereat album. This is a great song.
I also prefer to think of it, tongue in cheek, as face rather than fence.
The music is second to none, unfortunately the lyrics and the singer's are not too good. :( But the music writer is motherfuckin' GENIUS! I heard it in DiRT3
who's gonna sit on your fence when i am not there,this song is about the newspaper suffragette about waiting on the fence for the newspaper,and he says who's gonna wait on the fence for the paper when im not there,thats the song,i cant understand the video though..
Just an amazing band. And it is a wonder how in hell they manage to incorporate so much diversity and styles into their music. And when I listen to this song I can't help but travel into the history of the rock music, from Captrain Beefheart, to YES, Pere Ubu, etc and at the same time recognize that they do have their own unique sound which is fresh and powerful. Ya, I love them and I can't wait to see their next album coming out!
I walked from soho to west Hampstead. took me 2 hours. But I listed to this song all the way. sorry Im drunk but this ssong is great!!! HEy everything everthing. please can I come with you on tour..........
For anyone who has argued with me in the past over the lyric, please visit the interview with Jeremy and Jonathan at the Leeds Festival from 2010...The lyric 'fence' comes directly out of Jonathan's mouth and not once does he mention 'face'...I believe the WRITER of the lyrics would know, but hell, I'll probably get argued with anyway because so many people just hope and wish they say face for some ignorant reason.
They really shoulda thought these lyrics out a bit more than they did. For a few months now I thought it was 'Whose a'gonna sit on your face when i'm gone' ...oops
In the end, who really cares? I'll interpret it the way I want and you guys will interpret it the way you want. The important thing is we all enjoy the music.
First of all, arguing over an "A" sound or an "E" sound is irrelevant. When those sounds are being sung, it's extremely difficult to distinguish between the 2. I've listened again with headphones at 9,000 decibals or so, and I heard fence every single time. The "N" sound was clearly pronunciated. For the 3rd time, ALL the lyrics sites say fence. I know they can be mistaken, so I looked up 3 of them. I am in no way a feminist, not even close. In fact, I'm pretty much the polar opposite.
@31makimba if there were headphones with 9,000 decibels and you put them on your head wouldve imploded... hell it wouldve probably caused a black hole
@Biggestmutemathfan You're absolutely right. I was being sarcastic using exaggeration humor. That's very funny though. I actually laughed out loud on that one. So, I'll just say so instead of using that silly acronym.
@SamOwenI I'm not in denial whatsoever. Face is never said. I listened with headphones very loud and he said fence every single time. Look up the lyrics and it will tell you the same thing. If you'll notice, I'm not the only person stating this FACT!! This is great music with intelligent lyrics. Face sounds fucking stupid, moron!
@31makimba Well my studio monitors tell me 'face' but that doesn't prove anything, I don't think you're in denial as much as you are probably mistaken. I am sure I can hear 'face'. I think the fact that face has an A in it where fence has an E, and also the fact that the singer makes no effort to pronounce the N, makes me wonder where you're getting face from. To get fence from some of his pronunciations is a MASSIVE stretch - except for the parts where it does, clearly, say 'fence'.
oh my word... Face wouldn't sound stupid because "who's gonna sit on your face when I'm gone" is a reference to feminists, it used to be said in the 80's. I think you need to listen to it again, face is said at least a few times.
This ongoing debate is starting to get on my nerves. It is without a doubt fence. Not only can you hear it clearly if you listen very loud with headphones, but every single lyrics site states fence as well. Who the hell would think it says face? That makes no sense. Don't be so juvenile people. Anyway, these people are fucking amazing. I'm amazed and astounded and a very happy woman now that I've discovered this.
You are sooo correct....there are several albums that Pitchfork give low ratings to that are stellar....for example Keane, Yoav, Ulrich Schnauss....among others. Please people, listen to music, even if it's poorly rated...you will find some hidden gems....rock on Everything
The heavier parts are loads better on this version compared to the "Man Alive" version. Nevertheless, this is my band of the moment. Everey track on that Album is fucking stunning!

@GhostOfYouMe AT a gig in Birmingham I spoke to friends of the guitar player and they pointed it out to me as well. So it could be intentionally.... :)
@GhostOfYouMe I was convinced it said that! but the lyrics are actually "who's gunna sit on your fence" tbh be fair this song is just a cocophony of random lyrics for example
"Oh Pedigree Chum, Pedigree Chum.I'm never your father"
while random that lyrics seems to relate to lack of importance in preset roles and relation and how they don't apply but thats my interpretation... cuz it is a bit confusing when you look at the song as a whole
More, my arc, my light, my knees, when she (awesome hamony bit!!!) casts off her clothes i don't know what is reality... one of thhe greatest lines i've heard in a song ever!!!
