"There Goes a Tenner" was the third single to be released from "The Dreaming" by Kate Bush. It was only issued in the UK, and was the final single from the album. It was released 2 November 1982.

"There Goes a Tenner" is often considered as the "lost single", because when 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.Fact|date = July 2007 Due to the lack of media interest the single did not sell well and became the only song by Bush not to chart in the UK. It was originally to be Bush's first 12-inch single, but was eventually cancelled.

The track's subject is a (bungled) bank robbery, as told by a very fearful and paranoid perpetrator. Bush sang it in what has been described as "a curious accent that seemed to veer from an aristocrat to an East End villain". [Lorne Murdoch (1985). "Kate Bush". "Record Collector (December 1985, No. 76)": p.22]

The B-side, "Ne t'enfuis pas" is spelled wrongly on the actual single as "Ne T'en Fui Pas", which does not mean anything in French.
