Grammar:

• WHEN YOUR TOUCH WALKS ME HOME

  ➔ Subject-verb agreement and the use of 'when' clauses.

  ➔ The subject "TOUCH" is singular and the verb "WALKS" agrees. 'When' introduces a time clause describing *WHEN* something happens.

• WHEN YOU TASTE THIS GOOD

  ➔ Adjective after linking verb 'taste' and use of 'when' clause.

  ➔ "GOOD" is an adjective describing the subject (you) after the linking verb "TASTE". The taste is good. 'When' introduces the time clause again.

• WHEN THE GLITTERS IS GOLD

  ➔ Subject-verb agreement with singular noun 'glitters', and using 'when' clause.

  ➔ The subject "GLITTERS" (though looks plural) is treated as singular in this context and the verb "IS" agrees. 'When' introduces a time clause once again.

• AND IT FEELS LIKE IT SHOULD

  ➔ Use of 'feel like' to express a subjective experience.

  ➔ 'FEELS LIKE' expresses a sensation or impression. The pronoun 'IT' repeats to emphasize the feeling.

• WHERE DOES IT GO?

  ➔ Interrogative sentence structure with auxiliary verb 'does'.

  ➔ This is a question. 'Does' is used as an auxiliary verb to form the question in the present simple tense. The subject is 'IT'.

• YOU’RE AN AMATEUR DRUNK

  ➔ Use of 'an' before a vowel sound and subject-verb contraction.

  ➔ 'AN' is used before 'AMATEUR' because it starts with a vowel sound. 'YOU'RE' is a contraction of 'YOU ARE'.

• BUT FUCK YOU’RE THE ONE

  ➔ Informal use of 'fuck' as an intensifier and subject-verb contraction.

  ➔ The word "FUCK" is used informally to add emphasis. 'YOU'RE' is a contraction of 'YOU ARE'.
