There She Goes

Band songlist

Info

There She Goes (also known as There She Goes (A Little Heartache) or There She Goes (ALH)) is the title of track #9 on Babyshambles' second album, Shotter's Nation, with the track credited to Doherty. The song is one of the oldest to be released on the album, and had been recorded a few times before its release 2007, usually by Doherty acoustically. It was also recorded by Babyshambles once before the Shotter's Nation version, for their Doghouse session; a collection of demos in preparation for their second album.

Some of Doherty's acoustic versions are prefered by fans over the Shotter's Nation version, due to their slowed down tempo. When a photograph of what appeared to be a tracklisting for Doherty's solo album leaked in January 2006 (after a New Year's Eve guerrilla gig), There She Goes was listed as Track #10. When Doherty's debut solo album, Grace/Wastelands was eventually released in 2009, however, the track did not feature.

The song's bassline is reminiscent of that of The Cure's 'Lovecats'.

Lyrics

I, I do declare, I was surprised to see you stay
Only to be betrayed
By the one you gave all your love and trust to

And tell me how could I let go?
Since I caught a glimpse of your immense soul
You were dancing to northern soul
Just one glance, ah well, you know

There she goes, a little heartache
There she goes, a little pain
Make no mistake she sheds her skin like a snake
On the dirty road to fame, dirty road to fame

My love, now oh, there she goes, a little heartache
There she goes, a little pain
Make no mistake, sheds her skin like a snake
You're going to walk the plank again, walk the plank again
My love, now

I was to implore that you forget all you saw
When you came through my door and from your bag
Pulled out more skag than I'd ever seen
No, how could I let go?

Since I caught a glimpse of your white plimsolls
Twisting and turning to northern soul
Just one glance, ah well, you know
Everybody knows

There she goes, a little heartache
There she goes, a little pain
Make no mistake, sheds her skin like a snake
On the dirty road to fame, dirty road to fame

My love, now oh, there she goes, a little heartache
There she goes, a little pain
Make no mistake, sheds her skin like a snake
And you walk the plank again, walk the plank again
My love, now

There she goes a little, there she
There she, there she goes
