Lyrics

Gerald at The Herald was first with the news
A man who had a handle on the latest local scandal
He'd been working at The Herald since late eighty two
The heart of his provincial town
A deadline and an all-nighter
His weapon was a typewriter
So Gerald, what's the story?
The Herald wants a scoop
Did the mayor take a bung?
Did he date someone too young?
The man with the story is you
Gerald found The Herald was no paradise
The fax machines became flat screens
The politics behind the scenes meant
Working at The Herald was life on thin ice
The beating heart was slowing down
The thing on which the owner bet
Was something called the internet
Oh Gerald, what's the story?
The Herald group wants a scoop
Who'll tell them to care
When they're looking elsewhere
The man with the story is you
The passing of time saw the paper's decline
The newsroom's a luxury flat
In a town come unwound
A corrupt MP's playground
There's an old man who's not having that
Long forgotten Gerald came up with a plan
To meet the crooked politician posing as a business man
When shady deals were offered thinking they were alone
He caught the whole thing on his phone
To keep his townsfolk in the loop
He posted on their Facebook group
Oh Gerald got the story
The herald got his scoop
Going viral with clicks
It was old dog new tricks
The man with the story is you
The man in the story is you
