Jethro Tull - A Stitch In Time 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.

Refrein:

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.

Refrein

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

Said Cock Robin from the wall

It's an early bird catches the worm

Show a little pride before you fall.

Refrein
