"golden touch" as written by and Johnny Borrell....
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"
We know what at 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
But don't give away too much
Someone will need your golden touch
Because then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
Oh, then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
We know what they mean
Well it means, they're just jealous
They'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well
Because then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
Oh, when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
Oh, I know what that means
Well it means, they're just jealous
They'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well
No, they'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well
They'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well
No, they'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well
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

Mairead was the inspiration for Razorlight's massive hit Golden Touch - and still gets a thrill when she hears the song on/off boyfriend Johnny Borrell penned for her.
She 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.
