My Kind Of Hell - Elton John, Leon Russell

Your hot coffee and my black tea,

I don’t know about that,

Oh I guess we choose to disagree,

But I like your pork pie hat,

Your sister always came

between us,

Claiming she knew best,

But she hitched her wagon to a diplomat

And moved to Bucharest,

While we just go around and round,

Like a dull thud in a bell

Oh I can’t say I ever

liked you much,

But you’re my kind of hell,

Oh I can’t say I ever

liked you much,

But you’re my kind of hell

Peddlers filled the

New York streets,

Selling watches from a tray,

The thief in you said,

«it's no sin,

Hell they stole ‘em anyway»,

We were living cheap

in an old hotel,

Eating rice and beans,

Staying up late talking politics

With a couple of

Times Square queens,

But we just turned the heat up on

The stories we could tell

Oh I can’t say I ever

liked you much,

But you’re my kind of hell,

Oh I can’t say I ever

liked you much,

But you’re my kind of hell

An island somewhere in the sun

Was always on my mind,

But you tanned from the inside out,

Drinking cocoa butter wine,

While you sold your past

like Baptist fire,

I was making plans to leave,

But you trapped me as that

ball just fell

On another New Year’s Eve,

So I gave it up for what it’s worth

And crawled into your shell

Oh I can’t say I ever

liked you much,

But you’re my kind of hell,

Oh I can’t say I ever

liked you much,

But you’re my kind of hell
