In Frank's Words
- “I remember finishing the words for Tell Tale Signs and getting the title for the album and things crystalised somewhat.”
— Louder: Every Frank Turner album in his own words, 2017 - “On this tour, I feel like I've finally figured out what the song 'Tell Tale Signs' is about. On the surface, it's about a slightly doomed love affair and self-harm but actually I think it's more about drugs than I realised when I wrote it.”
— Americana UK: Interview with Frank Turner, 2019 - “Like a lot of people, I feel slightly embarrassed by it - because it's such a concession of weakness. I don't have an enormously high opinion of myself. It's a constant battle not to get too lost in self-criticism, self-loathing.”
— Songfacts: Tell Tale Signs - “He was telling me to sing it directly to the person I was singing about,”
— Songfacts: Tell Tale Signs - “He kept telling me to 'see the ghost.' I wanted to stab him. But he was right. You can get a performance that's correct, but what you really want is one that's correct and which has soul.”
