Terrorvision are a one guitar band, but most of their work is written and
recorded with two guitars set up slightly differently playing pretty much
the same thing. Therefore, this tab is set out
for just the one guitar only, to simplify things (kind are'nt I).
If you want to play the separate the guitar parts, then listen to the album
(and if you haven't already done this, why not?!?!?).
Have Fun,

(Lyrics)
You know I couldn't be me if it wasn't for you
I feel like *** and look like plastic but I'll get through
You know it's plain to see what's going to do
As long as it don't get too drastic then we can't lose
Don't blame the middleman, come to me
I'll tell you what I can: all you need
Cut out the middleman, wait and see.
It was you that told me the aliens had landed
And it was you that told me the end had just begun
(Chorus)
But now we're in this thing together
You can't escape I've got you trapped deep inside
You said you'd stay with me forever
Where are you now when I need you as my alibi?
You left me all alone in my hour of need
I tried to explain the situation, but they don't believe me
(Chorus)
Doodleoot, doodleoot, doodleoot, come to me
Doodleoot, doodleoot, doodleoot, all you need
Doodleoot, doodleoot, doodleoot, wait and see
(Chorus)
Cheers,
JACK.
