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
