Текст песни Meanwhile (The Beautiful South) с переводом

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, tearing up the 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
