Strangeness and Charm
Tim Finn/Neil Finn

You and I we circle each other
The truth is a powerful magnet
And beauty draws you in to her dragnet
Then she sets you free

Strangeness and Charm
That’s what you are
Strangeness and Charm
That’s what you are

We can’t separate ’cause we annihilate
Fortune and favour come too late
Break down the pieces until you’re left
With nothing else

Strangeness and Charm
That’s what you are
Strangeness and Charm
That’s what you are

Particles of flying dust go by
A hundred billion million atoms
I don’t think I want to know
What you are is no more than

Strangeness and Charm
What you need is to share the air
That Einstein breathes
What you are is no more than

Strangeness and Charm
I think I want to know
I don’t think I want to know
I don’t think I want to know

Strangeness and Charm
That’s what you are
Come on and share it with me
Share it with me

We were talking a lot, at that time, about subatomic particles and quarks. We wrote one called Strangeness and Charm, and they were both named quarks.
