Who shook the stars from her eyes 
Who shook the stars from her eyes 
Who took the shine 
Made water out of wine 
And left her alone in the world 

Who put a cloak round her soul 
Who put a cloak round her soul 
Who stole the prize 
That glittered in her eyes 
And left her the fool of the world 

O Francesca 
Who's going to save you now 
O Francesca 
Who's going to save you now 
It takes guts to put your hand up 
To risk it all and stand up to the 
Tongue twisters 
Campaign of whispers 

Who dragged her name 
Through the dirt 
Who dragged her name 
Through the dirt 
Trampled it down 
Burned it to the ground 
Left her the orphan of the world 

Who put that twist in her vows 
Who put that twist in her vows 
Who took her speech 
Bent it out of reach 
Put out the light of the world 

Who laid her down, took her rose 
Who laid her down, took her rose 
Who took her flower 
Now she charges by the hour 
Left her the whore of the world
