Meanwhile Lyrics - Beautiful South

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 sufferings so much funnier 

When it's theirs and not your own 

Meanwhile your whole world is collapsing
