Elvis Costello - Cheap Reward lyrics
Your rating:
OhwellI 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 OhI was trying to get away from the things that I always do Hellofloorboards once again--how are you? Lip service--wellthat's all you'll ever get from me Wellhow could you believe I'll take you seriously? With your cheap rewardsyour blackmailand 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 mejust 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 Ohbut you could say that you love me very painlessly I would've done the same for youohbut you said to me: Lip service--wellthat's all you'll ever get from me Wellhow could you believe I'd take you seriously? With your cheap rewardsyour blackmailand 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
