The Man Who Told Everything Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Get out of bed, pick up the phone
Time to tell the press
Say to myself, I can't do no-one else
There's a whole world outside

[Chorus 1]
I'm gonna tell it all
I'm gonna sell it all
I'm gonna sell
Get out of bed
Come out and sing
Blue skies ahead
The man who told everything

[Verse 2]
And I feel, like I'm losing my head
I didn't mean to stay
Lives have been wrecked, and I've picked up my check
Catch a plane out of here

[Chorus 2]
I'm gonna get out of here
I'm gonna get out of here
I'm gonna sell
Get out of bed
Come out and sing
Blue skies ahead
The man who told everything

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Get out of bed
Come out and sing
Blue skies ahead
The man who told everything
Everything

About

This is a man who frees himself by “telling everything.” Telling everything might be a form of confession or redemption for a lie or a secret wrong. It’s hinted that the man is political or in a position of public power, as with the lines “time to tell the press” and “lives have been wrecked, and I’ve picked up my check.” It might be thought of as a counterpoint to a song like David Bowie’s The Man Who Sold the World, that man being (possibly) the devil.
