"Strange World" is a song from the bands debut album Iron Maiden. It was written by Steve Harris. It is the sixth track from the original US & UK album releases; and the seventh track from the remastered 1998 release CD.
"Strange World" tells of a dystopian society, where people never grow old. Amongst other things the narrator (singer) laments how "smiling faces [are] ever so rare".
The song that precedes it will always be Transylvania, the famous instrumental piece, because they both merge, as one song if listened to.
