Wikipedia:
World was released as a single in the UK, Europe and Australia, but not in the USA.
World was originally planned as having no orchestra, so was recorded on four tracks, including some piano played by Maurice and organ played by Robin. When it was decided to add an orchestra, the four tracks containing the band were mixed to one track and the orchestra was added to the other track. The stereo mix suffered because of this.

Lyrics:
Now, I have found
That the world is round
And of course
It rains everyday
