Russell, Leon - Of Thee I Sing Lyrics






Hung up in a Pennsylvania mining town
Got down to Boston in time for tea
Don't know exactly just what's going down
Better hang around until I see.

She uses beauty like a knife
She cuts me even more, she changes
Right before my eyes into something ugly and sore.
Beauty like a knife
She cuts me even more, she changes

Right before my eyes into something strange and more.

Don't bomb the inn, I'm on a holiday
But Oklahoma's just a jet away
And the blood is on the books in Ohio
So badly stained, what can I say?

    Caden J - what do you base your opinion on? You may not personally like it - which is fine. But it definitely is not awful. Leon Russell was one of the greatest songwriters and performers of all time. He was a musical genius. Go to Wikipedia and read his musical history. Watch his videos of live performances (I highly recommend the Homewood Sessions https://youtu.be/4bwMqliLXZQ). Watch Elton John's tribute to him in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. As for this song, all of the instruments are masterfully played. Leon was an incredible pianist and his performance in this song is very creative. It has a great melody and the lyrics are very powerful. So the song and performance are brilliant - not awful. Whether you like it or not does not impact its quality.

    c.... j....

    You are so out of it

    c.... j....

    Awful Good.

    Musical genius. Love Leon.

  13. A.... P....

    For me, Leon Russell is the epitome of 'cool'. He is a music man sine qua non!

    leon you was one shexy man damn
    and I bet you was a motherless child
    fathers were and are rare so mostly moot - it's the lack of maternal love - turned your pain into treasure chests of inner self created from nothing soul fires - them eyes can'ts get over is - no one like leon
