I've been meaning to TAB this one out for a while.

"See No Evil" by Tom Verlaine
as recorded by Television on Marquee Moon

The song is in G blues (G A Bb B C D E F), basically, but there are a fair
number of chromatic notes.

Verse riff:  ("What I want, I want now...")

I'm not 100% sure what both guitars are doing here, but I think they
might be playing unisons.  I can't remember exactly.  The tag between 
the chorus and the verse is one guitar:

The solo is in G major and is classic Verlaine, built off scalar runs.  
It starts on the 10th fret G on the 5 string.  

I don't recall the structure of the song exactly, so you'll have to count
things out on your own, but the parts are basically right.  I'll check
when I get home.  If you can write up the lyrics, I'd be much obliged.  

I also know "Marquee Moon" (lyrics and most parts), "Little Johnny 
Jewel" (basic structure), "Friction" (choice licks), and "Knocking on 
Heaven's Door" (which is, of course, a Dylan cover, but is one of the 
best recorded versions of the song I've ever heard and has some intensely
emotional lead guitar).  I figured out some parts from one of the songs
on "Warm and Cool" as well, but I don't recall the name.  

There is a lot of Buzzcocks stuff available on OLGA.  I couldn't tell 
you about either The Pixies or The Fall.
