Grant, John - Touch And Go Lyrics
What have they been telling you
About the way things are?
Could you have foreseen back then
That you would come this far?
It was touch and go there for a while
Did you play with Barbie dolls
When no one else was around?
Pardon me if I sound ignorant
But the change is so profound
What was going through your head
As they struck you down to the ground?
What they think is patriotic
Barely passes for robotic
Three minutes in your shoes
The darkness almost swallowed you up
That must have been quite a case
Of the blues
I know that I'm supposed to be
Incensed by what they say you've done
But I only feel compassion 'cause
They're liars, every one
You've been keeping secrets all your life
But now you are done
Chelsea is a butterfly, she metamorphisized
You can't catch her with your net
'Cause she is free inside
You can't stop the progress of the truth
Try as you might

Grant, John Touch And Go Comments
John Grant says trans rights
The great American patriot Chelsea Manning (who this song is about) brought me here.
An overdecorated cake with a disappointingly bland filling. No, I won't have a second slice, thank you.
Pristine and BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you, John Grant. Great music, great lyrics, great artwork.
Another great John (remembering the other John - murdered 38 years ago today)
He's a bad ass so so far ahead of all of us I'm still trying to catch up
This is incredible!!!!
Sounds like Seventies AM radio, and that's a compliment.
I am attracted to the painful and witty lyrics but stay for the orchestration.
Beautiful in any context but I’m assuming this is a ballad for Hill.
Explain please?
Perfect.
Brought tears to my eyes in this shity dark room in my parents house somewhere in Algeria. Almost 34 , gay, never been loved as much as I loved.
Lord Armyn UR not alone
Lord Armyn- don't despair. You found John Grant and you will find love, happiness and joy. Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪
I never played with Barbie Dolls but I’ve had many touch and go moments and this is my favourite of the brilliant songs from John’s new album so far.
He's back ☺
"Touch & Go" debuted at #32 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
Love from my ass
he touch and go
i'm wigless
One thing Touch & Go reminds me of (that makes me extra happy): Steely Dan. Steely Dan stripped down and intimate. IOW, it's John Grant creating wherever his muse takes him. In playlist Best Gay Music 2018-17 https://youtu.be/-49B91A6mY0?list=PLrE0Knby3zbxlRTE66DwfVwn9A1K8ccMX
Wonderful !
Loved it. The artwork alone deserved a "like" already, but the song itself is beautiful, tense and unpredictable. Loved how it sounds as well.
Are there meant to be digital clicks on this jonny old bud? Can't wait for the new album!
Listened on spotify and seems you got some digital click issues on this video guys. Might wanna re-export it xoxo
Alan Parsons Project and pink floyd had an influence on this guy
Brilliant and MAGICAL!!!! Great.
Beautiful. I played with Barbie dolls in secret and had some very blue years inn late teens. He sings me awake.
I’m drowning in a swimming pool of melodic nostalgia.
This song speaks to all of my personalities.
amazing!
Magical! John Never disappoints ❤️
Thank you for making this xoxo
Please come to Brazil
Completely in love with Mr Grant's new music. Can't wait to see him perform his magic live!
The miraculous Budgie on drums too!
Always beautiful and relatable.
very PSB
This guy can sing tho, thats the difference
Tennant can sing; just two very different types of vocalist. I'd love to hear Grant and co's performances at the Scott Walker Prom again. Hopefully BBC4 will repeat it. Susanne Sundfør was a flipping revelation.
It’s ok with synth part, but please don’t repeat synth beats. Anyway I can’t force what to do to greatest artist and I love your songs John. Love.
Beautiful!!
Ooh like. Actually prefer to Love is Magic
John grant love youuuuuuuuuu
That gorgeous piano break towards the end, with its high pining vocals, had me out in goosebumps.
Cheers, ears!
So incredible !!!!
What did I expect? Of course it's gonna be magical. I'm super excited for this album already jesus
Another terrible song. This is boring to death. The hype is gone.
Is the youtube comments section where trolls go to die?
Have you got depression? Passive aggression?
Subtle and moving. As you would expect ; and that is on first listen.
John Grant♡♡♡♡♡
Love it!
