Haven't checked anything but I think it may mean (and may be a masonic
reference?) speak openly and honestly. Dylan uses the line "live my life on the
square" in this seeming sense _TOOM_. It means living on the straight and
narrow, as it were; living without an angle or subterfuge or some hidden
agenda. Lamb may then be referring to speaking this way.
