Elvis Costello – Cheap Reward Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: My Aim Is True

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
Hello, floorboards once again - how are you?

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
[ Cheap Reward lyrics from

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
