i onced listened to this song 300 consecutive times. i like all the Jude references, too. i thought the lyrics went a different way but I think there's a lot of room for interpretation:

What we need is a good jump good jump kick to the head to get her ambitions in gear For example, Jude at the party, was taking her clothes off Below the constellations

Outside, the people they pranced becoming lord of the dance And other typical socialites We greet them with conversation and delight Since Jude was mad at her dream for landing nowhere near the marker To a boat, on an island, where's nobody's been except your best memories and your favorite friends We cooked south fish for dinner

This is a place, is a place, is a place, is a place is a place that's soft down in a chair We'll talk till the break, till the break, till the break, till the sun comes up Like the signal flare

Jude trailed off the trail got her tail caught in a fail-proof safe Didn't really fail for a night in jail with the pale hail of everywhere The nightingale did escape the whale Couldn't we survive, they are fed alive, we all cried, Because she went and jumped overboard

She took a sad song and made it sadder She took a sad song and made it sadder She took a sad song and made it sadder She took a sad song and made it sadder
