"There Goes a Tenner" was the third single to be released from The Dreaming by Kate Bush. It was only released in the UK, and was the final single from the album. It is often considered as the "lost single", because when the it was released it gained no interest from any radio stations or music television programmes. The music video was only played once on UK television. It was released 2 November 1982.
Due to the lack of media interest the song didn't sell well and became the only song by Bush not to chart in the UK. This single was originally going to be Bush's first 12-inch single, but was eventually canceled.
"There Goes a Tenner" is the story of a (bungled) bank robbery, as told by a very fearful and paranoid perpetrator.
The B-Side, "Ne'Tenfuis Pas" is spelt wrong on the actual single as "Ne'Ten Fuis Pas" which doesn't mean anything in French.
