Meanwhile

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 âspeak up now
 or forever hold your peaceâ
 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 sufferings so much funnier
 When it's theirs and not your own
 Meanwhile your whole world is collapsing
