The Devil Makes 3- Cheap Reward- Santa Cruz Rehearsal

Our cover of Elvis Costello's "Cheap Reward" from our rehearsals in Santa Cruz, California.
Feel so loose tonight, I might fall to pieces
Be prepared to sweep me out the door
Now I might be horizontal by time the music ceases
Yes, I get acquainted with the floor
Well, I been trying to get away from things I always do
Hello, floorboard, once again and how are you
Lip service, that's all you'll ever get from me
How could you believe I'd take you seriously
Your cheap reward, your blackmail, your comical rage
Just remember, you'll only be the boss as long as you pay my wage
Lip service, that's all you'll ever get from me
How could you believe I'd take you seriously
Your cheap reward, your blackmail, your comical rage
Just remember, you'll only be the boss as long as you pay my wage
All the signs point on this road, they point one way
Don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes
Now I'll turn the light out, 'cause there's nothing to see
It's all been lost before, so there's nothing to lose
Oh, but you could say that you love me so painlessly
I woulda done the same for you, but you said to me
Lip service, that's all you'll ever get from me
How could you believe I'd take you seriously
Your cheap reward, your blackmail, your comical rage
Just remember, you'll only be the boss as long as you pay my wage

Y'all are my very favorite band. I think y'all could sing/play a cereal commercial and it would be amazing and unique.

[@vladkakouski2640]

a classic, kept me going during working hours many times along with north carolina

[@milehightruth]

Y’all always sound better live, idk why. Good shit 👌

[@niclindsey7790]

So glad to see y’all playing again.

[@danieleads1266]

Since UCSC 1998 still a fan.

[@Berliner10243]

Oh, dass ist doch toll. Kommt doch bitte wieder mal nach Berlin. Wir vermissen euch 😊.

[@daviddaniels100]

My favorite band. It's good to see some new content from them.

Mi canción favorita me alegra el día

[@Randomklips4447]

Kinda grew up to this album, big fan can’t believe it don’t have more views

[@zacharytaylor3054]

Y'all are my favorite band too. Literally a formative element of my life. Never stop gang. Cooper McBean is in my banjo pantheon holy trinity alongside Matt Heckler and Clifton Hicks. Also, both Pete's and Cooper's solo albums are extremely underrated. Masterworks all. And much love to any bassist that can keep up, but I personally saw Lucia slam water after water during a live performance just attacking the upright. Slapped that thing like it owed her money.. MorganEve Swain is absolutely killer too. I loved Brown Bird for years, and that was a literal dream. Forgive me for gushing, you guys are all just 2cool4skool.

Glad to see yall still making noise. Seen you at Cains Ballroom probably a decade or more ago. One of the best shows I've ever been too!

[@lorigardilcic4976]

Hello floorboards! Ha! Great lyrics!

[@GrumpyGustav]

I once had the opportunity to see you, and especially to hear you, in Prague, and to this day I regret that I did not have the opportunity to hear the lead vocal. Thank you so much for the great video and especially for your creating.

[@TwistedAdventures42]

[@illanatomy]

Has anyone ever seen any interviews by these guys? Or any videos made about the history of the band. I can't find anything about them. I've been listening to the self titled album religiously for a few years and they're the shit

[@LadyVonCracker]

There’s two interviews on KZbin from 13 years ago called “interview with The Devil Makes Three Part 1” (and then there’s a part 2”. And there’s a second interview from 12 yr ago from someone called camp counselor nick lol If you’re new to this band.. the original Bassist Lucia had to step away a few years ago so this bassist isn’t the same person you would see in the interviews.

If you are covering Elvis, maybe give White Flag a go?
