Hey, Jude, don't make it bad,
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey, Jude, don't be afraid,
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain,
Hey, Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Da da da da da da da da da.
Hey, Jude, don't let me down,
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Da da da da da da da da da.
Hey, Jude, don't make it bad,
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better
Better, better, better, better ohhuh!

    I don't think that this bears any relation to the song, "Hey Jude," but it's sort of interesting to note that the meaning of Jude is "he who is praised". Jude, or Saint Jude, was said to be one of the Twelve Apostles. Saint Jude is known as The Patron Saint of Hopeless Causes—which it's not a strain to make a relation to Jude in the song. That said, everybody's saying it's about Julian. I don't really understand the relation, but hey... nah nah nahhh it's all good. Plus why the last minute change.

    I have to say too that the line, "the movement you need is on your shoulders" is absolutely brilliant following the impossible line to not carry the world upon your shoulders. Release the pressure and begin. Brilliant. Man, they were just incredible, each and all.
