The Avalanches Lyrics
Johnny, Johnny! Open up
Johnny, it's Frank! Open up
Look you've been in there for three weeks
Now come on, open up
Johnny, Johnny!
Out of my way, I'm watching television
Are you crazy? That's the test pattern
I like it!
Well, there are two things to be done
And withdraw all television, I see
And then, we give him this... Radio
Radio, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio
Sending those signals, sending those signals, sending those signals, those digital signals
Sending those signals, sending those signals, sending those signals, those digital signals
Sending those signals, sending those signals, sending those signals, those digital signals
Sending those signals, sending those signals, sending those signals, those digital signals
Two times you do, understand,
Is it as good, understand
Two times you do, understand,
Is it as good, understand
Two times you do, understand,
Is it as good, understand
Two times you do, understand,
Is it as good, understand
Sending those signals, sending those signals, sending those signals, those digital signals
Sending those signals, sending those signals, sending those signals, those digital signals
Sending those signals, sending those signals, sending those signals, those digital signals
Sending those signals, sending those signals, sending those signals, those digital signals
Oh, can't you hear it?
Can't you hear it?

Now come on, open up

Out of my way, I'm watching television
Are you crazy? That's the test pattern
I like it!
Well, there are two things to be done
First of all, we put him in the hospital
And withdraw all television, I see
And then, we give him this... Radio

Best track on a packed masterpiece. (Live at Dominoes may tie it for me).

good man

Why can't i find that spoken opening neither on vinyl nor the spotify version? I really enjoy it 😔

@Flynn removed for creative reasons. with my baby is a phenomenal track but it has no actual place in the whole album without influencing the entire mood around it
tyler goodrich
Spoken word version is also absent from apple music.. sucks man
Flynn
That spoken word intro was used as a transition from a track on the original version of Since I Left You called “With My Baby” which was cut not long after release, most likely due to copyright issues.

@rassberry cloud my CD copy doesn't have it. Unless it's at the end of the previous track and the index just didn't switch over til the beat comes on. But I know for sure on my copy, if you set it the track #, it starts with just the beat.
Gramifyed
This version has uncleared samples in it
