A Stitch In Time Lyrics - Jethro Tull

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.
