Too Rolling Stoned Lyrics
Oh a stitch in time, just about saved me
From going through the same old moves
And this cat is nine
He still suffers
He's going through the same old grooves
But that stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
Takers get the honey
Givers sing the blues
Too many cooks yeah spoil such a good thing
I know I laughed out loud but that was then
Ain't it funny, a fool and his money
Always seemed to find was those real good friends
That stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
The takers get the honey
The givers sing the blues
Well that stone keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
The takers get the honey
The givers sing the blues
A stitch in time, helps to unfold me
Circus starts at eight so don't be late
Please be so kind not to wake me
I think I'll just sit this one out
Well I'm too rolling stoned
I'm too rolling stoned, yeah
Like a rolling stone
Just, just, just like a rolling stone
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling stone
Yeah, too rolling stoned
Oh just like a rolling stone
From going through the same old moves
And this cat is nine
He still suffers
He's going through the same old grooves
But that stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
Takers get the honey
Givers sing the blues
Too many cooks yeah spoil such a good thing
I know I laughed out loud but that was then
Ain't it funny, a fool and his money
Always seemed to find was those real good friends
That stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
The takers get the honey
The givers sing the blues
Bringing me some real bad news
The takers get the honey
The givers sing the blues
Circus starts at eight so don't be late
Please be so kind not to wake me
I think I'll just sit this one out
I'm too rolling stoned, yeah
Like a rolling stone
Just, just, just like a rolling stone
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling stone
Yeah, too rolling stoned
Oh just like a rolling stone

If you did not know better you could mistake Trower for Hendrix at times- some of the guitar work is very similar and I guess that's why Trower is ranked so highly as one of the worlds great players.
@Addo Trower is ranked so highly because Trower is a great guitarist. He doesn't sound like Hendrix. Hendrix never sounded so good. Trower consistently plays creative, interesting, melodic music. Hendrix might spit out a quick blurb that sounded good, but it was always bookended by lots of sloppily-played garbage.

Was Jimi a shredder like EVH? Nope. He probably would have super shredding abilities had he lived longer. He didn't need to be any of that.

What Hendrix did in the studio was beautiful. Stunning really. If you look at what this artist did in such a few years..... unreal! Just his rhythm playing alone....... jeeez! He reminds me of Bruce Lee. He took everything he knew coming up and created something powerful and truly his own. Amazing!

A live concert is a different animal completely and everybody has had "off nights" even Robin Trower. Ask Robin what...
A live concert is a different animal completely and everybody has had "off nights" even Robin Trower. Ask Robin what he thinks of Jimi's playing. End of story bro.

My brother left Trower collection when he entered Army, thanks dude! The song is a jab back at Rolling Stone magazine as they had labeled him just as average. Thus the line, Circus starts tomorrow be so kind not to wake me I think I’ll just sit this one out.... (paraphrasing).
All-time favorite and grows on me as the years go by. \n\nMakes me want to go back and listen to Procol Harum...
" A stitch in time helps to unfold me"
Great line ! Like Madeleine L'Engles Tesseract, no?
Love every song on this album.
