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 |
