Jethro Tull A Stitch In Time song lyrics

I work in dark factories --- a cog in the big wheel

driving grey satanic mills and weaving sad stories.

And faceless masters --- oh, they pay me plenty ---

crumbs from their luncheon packs, harsh wine from

bottles halk empty.

A stitch in time saves nine.

Said Cock Robin from the wall.

It's an early bird catches the worm.

Show a little pride before you fall.

So I flew to the south sun with birds of a feather

to drink in the warm nights and tell of fine weather.

A stitch in time saves nine.

Listen all you young folk --- your lives on a timetable

clocking on twenty-one --- fly while you're able.

A stitch in time saves nine.
