There she goes, again

The La’s, “There She Goes”. Go! Discs, 1988.

Lee Mavers, who wrote the song, also provides vocals. The video benefits from Mavers making a very good show of being as high as the lyrics purport him to be. Presented with his whole deliriously strung-up attitude — guitar hoisted above his waist, his hamburger-wide figuration of the chorus, squinting skinnily into the camera — the otherwise perhaps overwrought vocals come into focus. [See also Josh Allen’s absurdist paean to the two minute forty-two second perfect pop song at The Morning News.]
