POUND FOR PROFIT Suit and tie, suit and tie tell me your white lies Suit and tie, Suit and tie why do you kill for a living? You’re killing hope yeah you’re selling smoke, found wanting for winning Your soul is gone to leave behind your body now empty Pound for profit Pound for profit Take a good thing and make money from it Take suffering and sell it on the market Sell your soul and let go of all that you care for Because it’s pound, for profit Happiness lies at the bottom of your bank account Look at all this shit that I can buy There’s security and freedom in money you say As everyone you love walks away Where’s is the fun in life, you came to love Pound for profit Pound for profit Take a good thing and make money from it Take suffering and sell it on the market Sell your soul and let go of all that you care for Because it’s pound, for profit © Franca Dobbin 2015

Permission 05:09
PERMISSION What is my justification Can I respond with tongue in cheek Will you hear my reasons Or play your tunes, on repeat No don’t speak Can I please get a word in Will you listen Or continue your repeating patern Permission to land, Permission to speak Permission to feel sadness Permission to be Permission to seek The friendship I need I thought you were it, But you couldn’t see me Permission to land Permission to speak Permission to feel sadness Permission to be Permission to seek The friendship I need I thought you were it But you couldn’t see me © Franca Dobbin 2015

HALF GLASS GIRL She’s a half glass full girl, In an empty world Trying to fill her cup She’s a pioneer For the kind of gold Hidden beneath amber liquid Pick up your pieces oh, pick up your pieces go home She’s a half glass empty girl In an empty world Drinking to her future She’s a pioneer For the kind of gold Hidden beneath amber liquid Pick up your pieces oh, pick up your pieces go home © Franca Dobbin 2014

True to you 05:08
TRUE TO YOU Cry me a River, or paint me a sky With those haunted, blue eyes Take a part of me, and hold it tight Take any part you want any part you like Be true not false, don’t deceive There’s a part of me you’ll always keep A part of you, you cannot complete A part of you, you cannot see Be true to you true to you Paint me a river but let it run dry No observations for this skyline Don’t obsess with woes or rhymes just one last drop Of your red, red wine. © Franca Dobbin

Home 05:15
HOME Some people find comfort in waves Feel the waves rock their bodies in a way that belongs, I could never understand Could never trust the waves would keep me safe from harm And so I’d Say Take me home Take me home My feet fit perfectly between the branches on the old karri tree And I would much rather stick my hands in the soil than feet in the sand I would rather fall from green canopies Than drown 10 ft under water at the bottom of the sea And so I’d Say Take me home Take me home © Franca Dobbin 2014
