@tigerloop24 Well, if he was that familiar with heroin and happened to be writing a song about a girl, it would have been no surprise if he compared her with the effects of heroin.
...as far as I'm concerned these damn limeys cheated the world out of years of inspired brilliance. I bought the first album in 1992 and wore it out. I'm still pissed!! (....but if they do get back together I'm going to the show!!)
@X0INFINITYX0 Sorry to offend you, Mr. Schaffer! No need to be nasty in this forum. You're a great musician and a cool guy. But, compared to the studio version of this song (seen on the video), the tempo is too fast.

@alexoa123 just shut up, be happy we dont have to pay for Youtube. the commercial,sponsers,vevo, pays for the cost of running this site..so just enjoy having a free site like this
@stealthalex08 - The song is "alleged" to be about heroin addiction (there she goes again, pulsing through my veins), but it is most definitely not. Interviews from band members confirm it. It's called a metaphor, silly; look it up. If you've never been in love, you could never understand how love is a drug more addicting than heroine.
usually letterman's band plays some ridiculous song to commercial break. i though it was cool that they played a beatles song seeing how these guys are from liverpool too!
@luvyournylons First and foremost, they're Scouse. If you asked them or anyone who lives in this city, Scouse is our identity. The English hate us and have done for decades, we're treated like an ethnic minority. The La's and every other band from Liverpool belong to our music scene, not Britain's music scene.
Viva la República de Liverpool - no more shame by association with them English bastards!
JUSTICE FOR OUR 96 MURDERED BROTHERS AND SISTERS - DON'T BUY THE SUN NEWSPAPER!
@KopiteP250505 How embarrassing. Don't you realise how immature you sound saying you're 'scouse' not English. Fucking grow up. Maybe the reason the English hate scousers is because of people like you, fucking morons.
@SteFrenchfan There's no way you're from Liverpool. I bet you reside in Birkenhead or Formby... somewhere like that? Or God forbid... St. Helens? Wherever it is, fuckin stay there.
@KopiteP250505 With pleasure. I'd hate to reside in a city that spouts such fucking idiotic nonsense such as "I'm scouse" not English. I know plenty of scousers who aren't that fucking braindead and would actually laugh with shame at the type of cunt (like yourself) they share the city with
@SteFrenchfan They don't go the Liverpool home and away matches then like me and my mates do. A survey was carried about by JMU not too long ago. It asked if there was a referendum on independence for Liverpool would you vote yes or no? Out of all the Scousers they asked... 4 out of every 10 said yes. When they narrowed it to just Scouse LFC fans, the result was 74% in favour. There are thousands and thousands of Scousers who share my view lad. Trust me!
@SteFrenchfan Wait Liverpool isn't in England? I'm just a stupid american. I know that Liverpoolians (is that a word) sound a bit different, but I thought that was like the difference between a New York accent and someone from say...California. I need to get my globe out. You English/Liverpoolians/British?? are confusing me w/ all this arguing. But I do love this song... Hey, what is a scouser? Never heard that term...
@jennieannshaw Yes Liverpool is in England, and scousers are what people from Liverpool are called. They just have a strong accent, different from anywhere else in England. It's just muppets like the poster above that say silly things like "I'm not English, I'm scouse" that can confuse a foreigner. So a scouser is from Liverpool and so is English. They are also British as England, Scotland and Wales collectively are Great Britain. So a scouser is a Liverpudlian, is English and British.
Hello from northern England. Just a polite correction matey. People from Liverpool are called Liverpudlians (proper). 'Scouse' is the widely used nickname for their regional/city accent (therefore a person can be called 'Scouse' OR 'a Scouser'. Some people in nearby outlying city areas don't like the tag even though the accent sounds the same (but softer) to an outsider. 'Scouse' is also a simple but famous local food recipe (best google/wikki it all, not much space here). ;-)
@maccafan10 haha thats true...my uncles from Wirral n he sounds like Liverpool but says he aint scouse...he thinks hes posh lol but he's fakin is scouser to everyone else xD
True, to outsiders it all sounds the same unless you are 'in the know' der La. The only real difference is that in the Wirral they actually get out of the bath to have a pee, LOL.
I have loads of friends there and love the place, and do Beatles week every year too. Off to see Sir Macca at the Echo Arena in December, front seats, can't wait. Anyway, got a gig tonight so I'm gonna have to 'do one' now. Ta raa well
@maccafan10 Lol , funnnny der la '' get out of the bath to pee '' xD
I like Liverpool people aswell and LOVE Liverpool FC ( winning 2 - 0 v WBA right now..Yesss Andy Carroll finally scored )....also I think The Beatles are cool too. man I wish I could watch Macca in concert . Your dead lucky oroit laaa....ta raaa then ; D
@KopiteP250505 Why are you so quick to judge people from other places? It was just by chance that your parents decided to move/stay to/at Liverpool. If you were born in the places you mentioned are bad then what would you be saying now?
@MrDataCode No one gets judged and stereotyped more because of where they're from than us Scousers. I follow the mighty Liverpool FC all over the country and we get nothing but abuse from English fans and Police.
I'm 20 and I'm not going to talk about hypothetical scenarios like what if I was born elsewhere. Liverpool is the best city in the world, end of story. I couldn't possibly imagine coming from anywhere else.
@KopiteP250505 Thats quite a foolish thing to say. If you look back at your family's roots you'll be probably commit suicide the way your so passonate for Liverpool.
The only thing Liverpool is different to any other shit hole.. London, Manchester etc is the Accent. Your talking asif Liverpool is one big family but everyones out for themselfs and the quicker you stop hiding behind an accent the better of you'll be.
@MrDataCode Our music scene is better than Manchester and London's music scene. And we have the most prestigious football club. No club in London has ever won a European Cup, we've got 5 of them. And our fans have always been the ones to revolutionise terrace culture while fans of other clubs copy us.
'Liverpool is a world city, far more so than Manchester or London.'
@KopiteP250505 Whoa I'm from Liverpool myself yet I do not share your love for the city, just thought I would get that out the way.
Your telling me Liverpool's has a better music scene.. based on what? The Wombats, Echo and the Bunnymen, Engine, The Escorts The Las, Elvis Costello .. yet you probably don't even know any apart from Wombats and Las. Yes you can admit that your basing that on The Beetles.
What about The Smiths, Joy Divison, Rolling Stones, Buzzcocks, Chamelons,nomorespaceleft.
@MrDataCode The Beatles, Searchers, Pacemakers, Shack (most underrated band of all time), Paley's, La's, Cast, Pele, Amsterdam, Bunnymen, Icicle Works, Black, Flock of Seagulls, Farm, Real People, Lightning Seeds, Maybes, Space, Teardrop Explodes, Care and the Wild Swans for a start, there are plenty more.
I like the music from Manchester and London, but it's not as good as Liverpool.
And by the way, I love The Smiths, but they aren't from Manchester - they're from Salford.
@KopiteP250505 Well they formed in Manchester and anyway.. this is me being a hipperacrit.. it doesnt matter where a band is from, obviously with bands like the beetles its not hard to quess where they're from because they must have mentioned it on every early public appearance, its the commerical bands like that that I dislike because you can't relate to their songs unlike The Smiths, Joy Divison, David Bowie, The Jam. oh and to comment on the Las they were a one hit wonder, 1 song to theirname
@MrDataCode The La's were a one-hit wonder?! Listen to their whole album in full as well as the BBC studio session recordings of the songs, then come back and dare say that. This song on here is world class and it's not even their best one - 'Timeless Melody' is so that just proves they certainly were NOT a one-hit wonder.
@KopiteP250505 All I'm saying is that for a band like this to be so popular due to one song makes them a one-hit wonder. Without "There She goes", where would this band be?
There is so many other bands that deserve such reconition as the Las yet remained in the dark during their prime. E.G The Comsat Angels, The Sound, Sad Lovers and Giants, bands that have made alot of effort into music who sing with passio. The La's are obviously happy now they have a constant paycheck from this song.
@MrDataCode They have no control over how their songs are received. The masses choose to jump all over 'There She Goes'. That's not Lee Mavers' and John Powers' fault. It doesn't make them a one-hit wonder. The fact they wrote so many quality songs means they aren't a one-hit wonder. Their album is one of the fuckin greatest of all time and it's recognised as such, and it has more than one song on it!
@KopiteP250505 Ok I can't deny that they arent a bad band. A HELL OF alot better than any band in the mainstream at the moment. I don't even know why I'm being so harse to them I think its because of this rather annoyance I have with people like yourself whose lifes are in debted to Liverpool.
@MrDataCode If monetary gain is your only barometer for success you should quit talking about things you know fuck all about and go and listen to NOW 72.
@bricktrainsoulja What is their not to know about? Please tell me what I "know fuck all about". Listen would you be here if you were from Cumbria? Would you like the La's and give their entire album your full time if you were from Manchester? Would you stop sucking the balls of all these Liverpool bands because you obviously would much rather listen too Dance music and Techno.
@MrDataCode You know fuck all the La's because you refer them as a commercial band in comparison to bands that, according to you, aren't commercial yet achieved far more mainstream success. You call them a 'one hit wonder' when clearly that isn't the case. You said they 'remained in the dark' in spire of regular touring and coverage in the national press. And you qualify your comments by name-checking other bands to somehow show you're clued up.
@bricktrainsoulja I don't know much about the La's but what is their to know? They made one album that got great critical sucess and had a song that made a few songs that made the charts. What is so intresting about this band that I need to "know fuck all" about? I don't find a bunch of lads or "Las" that intresting to be honest and their music isnt really moving for me. Yes some of the bands I named had more mainstream success but they were singing with passion and lyrics that meant more than..
@MrDataCode Well I supposed we're entitled to our own taste. I personally find their music moving and the lyrics especially relevant, but then I'm from the North and probably in similar circumstances to what those lads were at the time. More relevant than Morrissey's rants on vegetarianism, child abuse and repressed homosexuality anyway (before you jump on that as criticism I do appreciate the intelligience of Morrissey's lyrics and that they do extend past those themes).
@bricktrainsoulja Haha you prefer The La's lyrics and you can relate to them? The La's lyrics are simple, in fact give me a pen and paper and I'll match them. What is it you can relate to these? They aren't talking sense. Oh and Morrissey's lyrics are much more than what you mentioned, he sings about his lonely childhood and how he had trouble finding someone to love him. Also sings about himself dying and killing himself. Its far more deep than.."Oh theres that girl from the other day, shes fit
@MrDataCode Virtually everything you have posted in this whole conversation has been bollocks. You sound like a pretentious schoolboy NME reader that thinks you're part of some hip minority because you know who Echo and the Bunnymen are. Saying the La's are a one hit wonder and 'remained in the dark' during their careers only serves to undermine your credibility further.
@RealTime88 - "I loved hearing it in The Parent Trap as a little kid." - i STILL love the Parent Trap as an adult. that remake is so great. what happened to LL? ...sigh... innocence lost...
@njiuma Me too. I saw it over the weekend. The best Disney film I've seen in my life. And there are so many wonderful ones to pick from. Well what we do know is LL is a good actress but the question is can she make the comback that Miss Drew Barrymore made in the late 90's and 2000's?
At first this seems like a simple, throw-away tune. But on closer inspection, and listening to the various studio versions available, it's one of the greatest pop songs ever.
@scribbled309 That makes me think of what Ben Gibbard wrote about the song in an article: The song is so deceptively simple that you can't believe no one had written it before they did.
"so underrated"? that makes me laugh, come on, i am not telling that song or this band were bad, but how can you call underrated a band which barely released one single studio album
@carig121 The La's, based on that album and that "barely released one single studio album" helped them become one of the most influential bands in British rock and help set forth Madchester, Britpop, The Libertines, etc, etc. They are underrated as a band because their influence is much further reaching than most might think.
im looking over to the video suggestions on the you tube screen and it says 'robbie williams-there she goes' i cant watch it , it cant be, fckn nooooooooooooooooo!
Absolutely HATED this period...when my fave bands would appear on Letterman..and be half backed by the LAME ass Paul Schaffer band! I would be like..."wha..where's the rest of the band??" Bullshit politics that Letterman had the bands do that(for the needed exposure in the US). Not to mention I can't stand Paul Schaffer and his band for the dorky musicians they are(look/dress TERRIBLE and act like goofs). I wouldn't watch bands that appeared on here at this time for this reason.
I'd change my dealer if I were you, he's selling you short with some dodgy gear there. Its giving you some bad hallucinations and delusions of grandeur.
The only rope here soft lad is the one you are hanging yourself with (even then, that is only by a thread).
You are the epitome of the old saying "when the intelligence runs out, the desperate insults start", LOL.
The 'knots' actually pertain to you, as in my many unbeaten spats on here, that sounds like the start of a mighty big climbdown because you have nowhere else to go now.
My opinions are STILL the same and I am STILL Teflon coated to pork brain pricks like you. ROFLMFAO
@maccafan10 I know these are really old postings, but I just have to comment - I wish Americans could insult/debate/fight one another with such style! Our arguments are so lame in comparison. FU no...FU (insert racial slur) Please don't stop...it is more entertaining than you know!
Thanks for the compliment, I have been on many fights on here so well practised, LOL. Its just a bit of fun and an outlet for my logic and English Monty Python-esque humour.
To continue..Scousers have an amazing quick humour and I love going there. They have a funny retort for everything, hence the city has produced many famous tv comedians. Also hence the poster's humorous pride in being a Scouse (and not English). Watch early B/W Beatles interviews on here for an idea.
@jennieannshaw Lastly jennie, The La's get their name from what everyone calls each other there 'La'. A typical greeting is 'Alright there La' ? (there sounding like 'dare'). La being short for Lad (sounding like Laa).
Paste these in to YT as they are 2 current X-Factor contestants from Liverpool....Marcus Collins - The X Factor 2011 Auditions - Liverpool,,,,and ,,,,Craig Colton - The X Factor 2011 Auditions - Liverpool .
Also, a famous Scouse comedian...John Bishop Live At The Apollo Part 1
Now stop getting all desperate and sore because your little druggie hero Lee couldn't hack it and can't produce any more because he hobbled away to hide on his new chosen 'crutch'. I don't feel sorry for him because he had it all and lost it through 'his choice'.
Like I said and still maintain, he is (rather was) a genius, I do not feel sorry for him and a dozy sounding prick like you will never change my opinion.
@cupovtean1suga I'm whatever you want me to be because its just in your head soft lad and it matters not to me what you 'assume' that I am. Like I said, 'conjecture', I'm STILL Teflon coated and I don't "respect" druggies (don't twist my words). So you just carry on rooting through my favs like a little lonely saddo because you are actually painting a great picture of yourself. ROFLMFAO.
BTW, Macca is still doing sell-out tours and Lee is doing zip, if you really must compare dicks size
Probably ? Maybe ? Keep guessing soft lad, it's fun watching you eat yourself up with it.
You say his life is fucked up with drugs yet his later music ISN'T ? (strange contradiction).
You are full of conjecture laddy and you ain't gonna win any arguments (sorry, debates) here with your piss poor grammar either, or be successful at trying to insult me. I'll only keep taking the piss because my more educated brain is far superior to yours and I am also Teflon coated. Try harder
Well it seems to me that 'something' has fucked up his music genius (as you admit that
he IS fucked), or maybe you just can't make your mind up because you are also 'fucked up' on drugs (as you seem to know the forums)? LOL. Because we are not hearing any of that great 'unfucked' music of his in the charts lately, are we ? Maybe you can blame the weather instead eh ?
Yes I am a grandad, and very proud of it thanks and I can easily deal with trolls like you with too, soft lad
Firstly, I'm not your 'mate' sonny and I finished doing homework when I was at school.
It's like I already said, '"he chose that path for himself, not me". I'm sick of this 'poor me' attitude of idiot druggies who make out that the world forced them to do it, 'fact' (and 'period', even though I am not a Yank).
Has anyone ever noticed the astonishing likeness of Lee to Liverpool's Mike (McGee) McCartney, (alias Paul's brother who was in The Scaffold - Lily the Pink etc). Note the mouth especially.
Could the McCartney genius genes have biologically been transferred to this guy through Mike's few (ahem) 'love interests' during his own fame period.?
firstly im not denyin the huge talent lee mavers had/has i love that album nearly everyone songs catchy as fuck and in the early interviews he look cool as fuck and very charismatic but i cant help thinkin that in every performance he looks almost embarrased of his talent and not very comfortable in front of an audience.. the videos of him on from the last few years he looks even more anxious. quite a tragic story realy he could of done so much more ,drugs ruin every great band eventually
Not their fault. The Late Show used to have a ridiculous policy that any musical numbers (including musical guest performers) had to use Paul Shaffer's band. This usually meant that drummers, base players, and rhythm guitarists had to sit out. I guess that bands started refusing to play if they couldn't use their full band, so The Late Show people finally gave in.

Hello from northern England. Just a polite correction matey. People from Liverpool are called Liverpudlians (proper). 'Scouse' is the widely used nickname for their regional/city accent (therefore a person can be called 'Scouse' OR 'a Scouser'. Some people in nearby outlying city areas don't like the tag even though the accent sounds the same (but softer) to an outsider. 'Scouse' is also a simple but famous local food recipe (best google/wikki it all, not much space here). ;-)

True, to outsiders it all sounds the same unless you are 'in the know' der La. The only real difference is that in the Wirral they actually get out of the bath to have a pee, LOL.
I have loads of friends there and love the place, and do Beatles week every year too. Off to see Sir Macca at the Echo Arena in December, front seats, can't wait. Anyway, got a gig tonight so I'm gonna have to 'do one' now. Ta raa well

@MrDataCode No one gets judged and stereotyped more because of where they're from than us Scousers. I follow the mighty Liverpool FC all over the country and we get nothing but abuse from English fans and Police.
I'm 20 and I'm not going to talk about hypothetical scenarios like what if I was born elsewhere. Liverpool is the best city in the world, end of story. I couldn't possibly imagine coming from anywhere else.

@KopiteP250505 Thats quite a foolish thing to say. If you look back at your family's roots you'll be probably commit suicide the way your so passonate for Liverpool.
The only thing Liverpool is different to any other shit hole.. London, Manchester etc is the Accent. Your talking asif Liverpool is one big family but everyones out for themselfs and the quicker you stop hiding behind an accent the better of you'll be.

@MrDataCode Our music scene is better than Manchester and London's music scene. And we have the most prestigious football club. No club in London has ever won a European Cup, we've got 5 of them. And our fans have always been the ones to revolutionise terrace culture while fans of other clubs copy us.

Your telling me Liverpool's has a better music scene.. based on what? The Wombats, Echo and the Bunnymen, Engine, The Escorts The Las, Elvis Costello .. yet you probably don't even know any apart from Wombats and Las. Yes you can admit that your basing that on The Beetles.
What about The Smiths, Joy Divison, Rolling Stones, Buzzcocks, Chamelons,nomorespaceleft.

@MrDataCode The Beatles, Searchers, Pacemakers, Shack (most underrated band of all time), Paley's, La's, Cast, Pele, Amsterdam, Bunnymen, Icicle Works, Black, Flock of Seagulls, Farm, Real People, Lightning Seeds, Maybes, Space, Teardrop Explodes, Care and the Wild Swans for a start, there are plenty more.
I like the music from Manchester and London, but it's not as good as Liverpool.
And by the way, I love The Smiths, but they aren't from Manchester - they're from Salford.
KopiteP250505 6 months ago
@KopiteP250505 Well they formed in Manchester and anyway.. this is me being a hipperacrit.. it doesnt matter where a band is from, obviously with bands like the beetles its not hard to quess where they're from because they must have mentioned it on every early public appearance, its the commerical bands like that that I dislike because you can't relate to their songs unlike The Smiths, Joy Divison, David Bowie, The Jam. oh and to comment on the Las they were a one hit wonder, 1 song to theirname
MrDataCode 6 months ago
@MrDataCode The La's were a one-hit wonder?! Listen to their whole album in full as well as the BBC studio session recordings of the songs, then come back and dare say that. This song on here is world class and it's not even their best one - 'Timeless Melody' is so that just proves they certainly were NOT a one-hit wonder.
You're chatting utter shite lad.
KopiteP250505 6 months ago
@KopiteP250505 All I'm saying is that for a band like this to be so popular due to one song makes them a one-hit wonder. Without "There She goes", where would this band be?
There is so many other bands that deserve such reconition as the Las yet remained in the dark during their prime. E.G The Comsat Angels, The Sound, Sad Lovers and Giants, bands that have made alot of effort into music who sing with passio. The La's are obviously happy now they have a constant paycheck from this song.
MrDataCode 6 months ago
@MrDataCode They have no control over how their songs are received. The masses choose to jump all over 'There She Goes'. That's not Lee Mavers' and John Powers' fault. It doesn't make them a one-hit wonder. The fact they wrote so many quality songs means they aren't a one-hit wonder. Their album is one of the fuckin greatest of all time and it's recognised as such, and it has more than one song on it!
KopiteP250505 6 months ago
@KopiteP250505 Ok I can't deny that they arent a bad band. A HELL OF alot better than any band in the mainstream at the moment. I don't even know why I'm being so harse to them I think its because of this rather annoyance I have with people like yourself whose lifes are in debted to Liverpool.

Would you stop sucking the balls of all these Liverpool bands because you obviously would much rather listen too Dance music and Techno.
MrDataCode 6 months ago
@MrDataCode You know fuck all the La's because you refer them as a commercial band in comparison to bands that, according to you, aren't commercial yet achieved far more mainstream success. You call them a 'one hit wonder' when clearly that isn't the case. You said they 'remained in the dark' in spire of regular touring and coverage in the national press. And you qualify your comments by name-checking other bands to somehow show you're clued up.
bricktrainsoulja 6 months ago
@bricktrainsoulja I don't know much about the La's but what is their to know? They made one album that got great critical sucess and had a song that made a few songs that made the charts. What is so intresting about this band that I need to "know fuck all" about? I don't find a bunch of lads or "Las" that intresting to be honest and their music isnt really moving for me. Yes some of the bands I named had more mainstream success but they were singing with passion and lyrics that meant more than..
MrDataCode 6 months ago
@MrDataCode Well I supposed we're entitled to our own taste. I personally find their music moving and the lyrics especially relevant, but then I'm from the North and probably in similar circumstances to what those lads were at the time. More relevant than Morrissey's rants on vegetarianism, child abuse and repressed homosexuality anyway (before you jump on that as criticism I do appreciate the intelligience of Morrissey's lyrics and that they do extend past those themes).
bricktrainsoulja 6 months ago
@bricktrainsoulja Haha you prefer The La's lyrics and you can relate to them? The La's lyrics are simple, in fact give me a pen and paper and I'll match them. What is it you can relate to these? They aren't talking sense. Oh and Morrissey's lyrics are much more than what you mentioned, he sings about his lonely childhood and how he had trouble finding someone to love him. Also sings about himself dying and killing himself. Its far more deep than.."Oh theres that girl from the other day, shes fit
MrDataCode 6 months ago
@MrDataCode Virtually everything you have posted in this whole conversation has been bollocks. You sound like a pretentious schoolboy NME reader that thinks you're part of some hip minority because you know who Echo and the Bunnymen are. Saying the La's are a one hit wonder and 'remained in the dark' during their careers only serves to undermine your credibility further.

@carig121 The La's, based on that album and that "barely released one single studio album" helped them become one of the most influential bands in British rock and help set forth Madchester, Britpop, The Libertines, etc, etc. They are underrated as a band because their influence is much further reaching than most might think.

Also hence the poster's humorous pride in being a Scouse (and not English). Watch early B/W Beatles interviews on here for an idea.

Has anyone ever noticed the astonishing likeness of Lee to Liverpool's Mike (McGee) McCartney, (alias Paul's brother who was in The Scaffold - Lily the Pink etc). Note the mouth especially.
Could the McCartney genius genes have biologically been transferred to this guy through Mike's few (ahem) 'love interests' during his own fame period.?

firstly im not denyin the huge talent lee mavers had/has i love that album nearly everyone songs catchy as fuck and in the early interviews he look cool as fuck and very charismatic but i cant help thinkin that in every performance he looks almost embarrased of his talent and not very comfortable in front of an audience.. the videos of him on from the last few years he looks even more anxious. quite a tragic story realy he could of done so much more ,drugs ruin every great band eventually

Not their fault. The Late Show used to have a ridiculous policy that any musical numbers (including musical guest performers) had to use Paul Shaffer's band. This usually meant that drummers, base players, and rhythm guitarists had to sit out. I guess that bands started refusing to play if they couldn't use their full band, so The Late Show people finally gave in.
