The world that was es el primer single y la segunda pista del disco Dentures out de The Proclaimers (2022), una canción que examina la frustración de aquellos que sintieron que la nostalgia se puso al servicio durante la pandemia (por la Covid-19), con alusiones a la calidez de los tiempos de guerra. Estreno 30 de junio de 2022.

The world that was
Has now become a cause
Inspiring simple souls all over
Who have the knack
Of always looking back
While drunk or even sober
No matter what you may
Have often heard
There’s been no death of satire
There’s more – not less
When “thank U NHS”
Is painted on a spitfire
The world that was
Has now become a cause
All over
Black and white
One truth they know
The modern world
Will have to go
The world that was
Draws memories of a past
Which seems a wee bit hazy
From what I see
The summary seems to be
“More meat with extra gravy”
And though I feel
I am a rational man
Sometimes I’m sorely tempted
But worship of a past that never was
Is totally demented
The world that was
Has now become a cause
All over
