Meanwhile lyrics

Jack confides in Catherine That he?s filing for divorce Catherine gives her promise To keep it secret but of course As soon as backs are turned in soaps They?re sharpening their claws Meanwhile my whole world is collapsing The congregation?s nervous Especially bride to be There?s three of them, she?d rather have Gone down on bended knee Credits roll on, ?Speak up now Or forever hold your peace? Meanwhile my whole world is collapsing It?s pretty odd some two bob God Can somehow grip the nation But maybe to us sad old mares It?s a form of consolation Makes us feel creative in a life minus creation Meanwhile our whole world is collapsing Look out on the streets outside, catch a conversation The whole wide world is collapsing The oldest of the brothers The audience thought was dead Returns to find his sister and his wife Tucked up in bed If this is true to life Feed me fantasy instead Meanwhile the whole world is collapsing It?s pretty odd some two bob God Can somehow grip the nation But maybe to us sad old mares It?s a form of consolation Makes us feel creative in a life minus creation Meanwhile our whole world is collapsing Riots on the streets outside, they?re tearing up a nation The whole wide world is collapsing These petty little problems They bring into our home We actually tend to laugh about 'Cause ours would not get shown And suffering's so much funnier When it?s theirs and not your own Meanwhile your whole world is collapsing It?s pretty odd some two bob God Can somehow grip the nation But maybe to us sad old mares It?s a form of consolation Makes us feel creative in a life minus creation Meanwhile our whole world is collapsing Look out on the streets outside, catch a conversation The whole wide world is collapsing The whole wide world is collapsing
