Ké - Strange World (1996) - 7" & Junior's Sound Factory Mix

Singer-songwriter Kevin Grivois, a.k.a. Ké, is known for his powerful, thoughtful music and lyrics, which often reflect his cross-cultural background. Drawing on his distinct falsetto voice, Ké can sometimes leave an androgynous vocal impression. His anti-war anthem 'Strange World' made him cult icon in Europe. It was his debut single and topped radio charts in the UK, Italy and Germany as one of the most requested songs of 1996. Although his music was never released in the USA, a fatastic dance remix of the song, by Junior Vasquez, hit #1 on the US Billboard Dance chart.

Lyrics:

Is this our last chance to say all we have to say
Hiding here inside ourselves we live our lives afraid
So close your eyes and just believe in everything you're told
Cause in this land of great confusion it's easy to give up control

Strange world people talk and tell only lies
Strange world people kill an eye for an eye
Strange world dream one-day we'll see the light
Strange world believe and everything will be alright

And this is the place where everything begins and ends again
No secrets left to find no seven deadly sins
This world that we have wasted has kept us very well
When science now is sacred who will save us from ourselves

Strange world people talk and tell only lies
Strange world people kill an eye for an eye
Strange world dream one-day we'll see the light
Strange world believe and everything will be alright

Strange world people talk sometimes I wonder why
Strange world people kill still no-one hears their cries
Strange world burn these thoughtless tears out of my eyes, eyes

Strange world people talk and tell only lies
Strange world people kill an eye for an eye
Strange world dream one-day we'll see the light, ahh, ahh

Strange world people kill and people hate and
People talk and people kill and still I wonder wonder why, why
