"Sitting on a fence is a man who strokes his twenty beards."
To me the 20 beards are about the myriad preoccupations a passive person goes through to avoid himself.
One watches whatever's on TV, bites one's nails, gets another beer, another cigarette -- one redirects the screaming life vitality of oneself to rather vain and useless purposes, when one could be funnelling that energy into something more interesting and meaningful.

Sitting on a fence is a ripper tune. The problem with actually "sitting on a fence" is this - you are and get a pain in the rump.
