[Intro]
I hope you enjoyed, Hammersmith
This one's called "Strangeness & Charm"!

[Verse 1]
Hydrogen in our veins, it cannot hold itself, our blood is burning
And the pressure in our bodies that echoes up above it is exploding
And our particles they're burning up because they yearn for each other
And although we stick together, it seems that we are stranging one another

[Pre-Chorus]
Feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love
(Strangenеss and Charm)
See it on me, love, see it on me, lovе, see it on me, love
(Strangeness and Charm)
And atom to atom
Oh, can you feel it on me, love?
And a pattern to pattern
Oh, can you see it on me, love?
Atom to atom
Oh, what's the matter with me, love?
(Strangeness and Charm)

[Chorus]
The static of your arms, it is the catalyst
Oh the chemical it burns, there is nothing but this
It's the purest element, but it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent, a drug for angels
Strangeness and Charm

[Pre-Chorus]
Feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love
(Strangeness and Charm)
See it on me, love, see it on me, love, see it on me, love
(Strangeness and Charm)
And atom to atom
Oh, can you feel it on me, love?
And a pattern to pattern
Oh, can you see it on me, love?
Atom to atom
Oh, what's the matter with me, love?
(Strangeness and Charm)

[Chorus]
The static of your arms, it is the catalyst
Oh the chemical it burns, there is nothing but this
It's the purest element, but it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent, a drug for angels
Strangeness and Charm

[Bridge]
Strangeness and Charm
Hey — so (Strangeness and Charm)
Hey — so (Strangeness and Charm)
Hey — so (Strangeness and Charm)
Hey — (Strangeness and Charm)

[Chorus]
The static of your arms, it is the catalyst
Oh the chemical it burns, there is nothing but this
It's the purest element, but it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent, a drug for angels

Feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love
(Strangeness and Charm)
See it on me, love, see it on me, love, see it on me, love
(Strangeness and Charm)
Feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love
(Strangeness and Charm)
See it on me, love, see it on me, love, see it on me, love
(Strangeness and Charm)

[Outro]
Ho, ho...
Down... down, down, down
Ho, ho...
Down... down, down, down
Ho, ho...
Down... down, down, down
Ho, ho...
Down... down, down, down
Ho!

Florence + The Machine

Florence + the Machine is an English alternative band, co-founded by front-woman, Florence Welch, and keyboardist and producer, Isabella Summers. The band is managed by Mairead Nash who also managed the original duo, known at the time as ‘Florence Robot/Isa Machine’, after Florence Welch sang Etta James‘ “Something’s Got A Hold On Me” to her in a club bathroom in December 2006.

The band first found fame in their native UK. Their debut album, Lungs (2009), went Gold within the first week of release, Platinum in less than 6 months and 4x Platinum in just over a year. They broke into the USA market after an elaborate performance of “Dog Days Are Over” at the 2010 VMA’s.

Their sophomore album, Ceremonials (2011), debuted at #1 on the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand charts. The band embarked on their second arena-based tour, the Ceremonials Tour. Most dates completely sold out.
