Lyrics:<br /><br />Affection and Attachment (The Guarantor)<br />Mama’s secret ingredients were peanuts and shellfish<br />Guests would swell up on their way out the door<br />The man with the booklet in the back’s got nothing to admonish<br />He takes and pawns it when it’s hard to the very core<br />He’s selling affection and attachment and acts as its guarantor<br /><br />He stands right by the receiver and tells her what to say<br />As if her vocal cords laid discarded on the floor<br />The other side responds always and without delay<br />They’ve got something flowing out of every pore<br />He’s selling affection and attachment and acts as its guarantor<br /><br />Yeah, when you’ve got a scheme some’d call a scam<br />You have the philosophy and conscience of a battering ram<br /><br />For her the future was charted by the stars<br />She knew she’d find someone who would just outpour<br />One and two people with things they could call ours<br />It isn’t hard to find someone with which you can build a rapport<br />He’s selling affection and attachment and acts as its guarantor<br /><br />His country is poor so he wants to build an empire<br />Knocking down shacks and put people in towers<br />But to do so you have to be a liar and acquire<br />And be someone who always consumes and devours<br /><br />If only you can keep the lawmakers pleased you’ll stay free<br />All you have to do is offer your services galore<br />And they’ll be on their knee for every plea<br />Once you slip through the back door you’ll get the wherefore<br />He’s selling affection and attachment and acts as its guarantor<br /><br />She’s loading up her cases and her carry-on<br />On the other side is her release from languor<br />She gives a salute to send off the life that’s bygone<br />Mama’s remembering every single time that she swore<br />He’s selling affection and attachment and acts as its guarantor<br />
