Costello, Elvis - Cheap Reward Lyrics
Oh, well, I feel so loose tonight I might fall to pieces
So be prepared to sweep me out the door
And I might be horizontal by the time the music ceases
So I think I'll get acquainted with the floor
Oh, I was trying to get away from the things that I always do
Lip Service - well, that's all you'll ever get from me
Well, how could you believe I'll take you seriously?
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
All the sign posts on this road that point one way
Don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes
I'll turn the light out now 'cause there's nothing more to say
And it's all been lost before so there's nothing to lose
Oh, but you could say that you love me very painlessly
I would've done the same for you, oh, but you said to me:
Lip service - well, that's all you'll ever get from me
Well, how could you believe I'd take you seriously?
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage

Costello, Elvis Cheap Reward Comments
Why is this no on Spotify? No version of My Aim Is True has it listed.
Why the FUCK isn’t this on Spotify
Lord there is no substitute for talent
It's 'acquainted', not 'accuainted'.
Very well said Sir. Elvis is THE King.
Great song but I really love Stephen Colberts cover.
Yeah same. Love Elvis Costello, but I like Colbert's version of this better
Lord have mercy on anyone who listen are watch Stephen Colbert a real sack religious piece of trash but anyway you want to hear a great cover of this song try The Devil Makes Three version its rather amazing BTW STEPHEN WILL DRIVE YOU TO HELL
The devil makes three has the best cover of this, better than original. Look up "devil makes three live at amobiea" it starts at the 21:15 mark
Great tune. Elvis is king!
no worries pal, its on its way to you now :)
wow, thanks..my email is [email protected] appreciate that.
its on the special edition of my aim is true, but ill email it you if you gimme yer email address
DEVIL MAKES 3 covers this awesome song well. Check it out!
I've looked everywhere to buy this with no luck, any suggestions?
This always reminds me of my old boss. I quit.
0 dislikes... damn right.
I know Elvis C's one of the biggest singers of all time, but I still prefer Colbert singing this song!
Yes its about all those things but i also like my interpertation of him singing to an alcohol bottle, if youve ever gotten drunk hammered .. you know this song strikes a weird chord not most others can .. if any . i absolutly love this .. and stephen colbert arguablly does it justice as well
So be prepared to sweep me out the door
And I might be horizontal by the time the music ceases
THANK YOU!
Fantastic song!
dont act like you're above me just look at your shoes... Thanks to you Mr Costello for putting us all on equal ground!
remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
such a badass song
Imagine you had a "girlfriend" who only liked you because you were a good kisser.
I like the song, but I don't understand it. D:
You’ll understand when you’ve got an abusive ex gf.
such an awesome song
