Anyway, as to meaning. Underneath the happy, cruising melody, it is very sad. Obviously the whole 'everything I touched was golden' is a reference to the story of the king who asked for everything he touched to be turned to gold and then he touched his daughter etc. Basically what I'm saying is I think Robbie here is saying that his fame has made him rich but in the end has caused him to lose everything he loves like the King who lost his daughter.
