Razorlight - Golden Touch

I know a girl with the golden touch
She's got enough, she's got too much
But I know, you wouldn't mind

You could have it all if you wanted
You could have it all if it mattered so much
But then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
But then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
We know what they mean
Well they mean, they're just jealous
Because they never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well

That kind of girl, yes she's never alone
You leave a thousand messages on her phone
But you know you never get through
And you could have it all if you wanted, girl
You could have it all if it matters to you

But then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
But then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
Oh we know what that means
Well it means they're just jealous
But they'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well

I saw my girl with the golden touch
Give 'em a taste but not too much
I just can't listen to the words of fools
I don't give away too much
Someone will need your golden touch

Because all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
And then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
And we know what that means
Well it means they're just jealous
But they'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well
(repeat)

Track 8 off the Razorlight's debut album, Up All Night. Song written by Johnny Borrell about his girlfriend at the time Mairead Nash who was a DJ and part of the group Queens of Noize. She [Mairead] said: 'Johnny and I have been friends for years. He was one of the first people I met when I came to London. 'The song is about people saying they liked me then slagging me off behind my back. That happened a lot and he didn't like it so wrote the song about it.' The pair were together when Johnny wrote the song but Mairead says they're just friends now. She added: 'It's amazing that such a big song is about me. It's just nice that someone you really care about writes something like that about you. 'It will be close to my heart forever.'
