He was born the same time as me
   To a small souled woman who died 23
  
   Now you're here, they can't shove you back
   I know you live your life out of spite
   I'm waiting for Jude the obscene, I'm waiting for Jude the obscene
   (I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm)
  
   The good ones first so get back in the queue (so get back in the queue)
   You trawled your way through our grim school (you trawled your way through our grim school)
  
   I hear your crowing in my sleep, in my dreams
   A great dark wave shivers over me
   I'm waiting for Jude the obscene, waiting for Jude the obscene
   (I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm)
  
   Boys with bashed-in eyes line the roads (boys with bashed-in eyes line the roads)
   But the longest walk was the walk back home (the longest walk was the walk back home) alone
  
   Now you're here, they can't shove you back
   You go on living your life out of spite
   And I'm waiting for Jude the obscene, I'm waiting for Jude the obscene
   (I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm)
   I'm waiting for Jude the obscene
   Waiting for Jude the obscene, waiting for Jude the obscene
