Hey Jude
Brave Combo; Tiny Tim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey, Jude! Don't let her 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
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

Got this piece of art on CD, so there's a possibility of someone playing this at my funeral.

Occasionally I was sure I was hearing the great and immortal Janis Joplin. In any case, what a treat. There's gonna be a Tiny Tim renaissance, like with so many painters and poets and writers who have little success in their lives, but generations after their deaths finally get the appreciation their genius deserves.

Tiny giving this tune the respect it deserves

The best part of the song is the first 30 seconds or so. I'm guessing the surviving Beatles were aghast at what Tiny did to their song, but I imagine Yoko probably enjoyed it.

I can say with almost 100% certainty George would have enjoyed this
