A run-through of Shakespeare's women and their archetypes, with Ophelia to guide you. Originally composed for a high school English class.

Your girl (Ophelia, gone)

Your mother, the whore (Getrude)

Your witch (Lady Macbeth)

Your shrew (Kate)

Your saint (Juliet)

Your maid (Ophelia, mad)

Dear little dove, neighbour of peace
Where did you go and why did you leave? 
Don't say we went and exploded the sun
Don't say we killed all your siblings for fun
Little dove, we've gotta eat meat

Refrain

Gentle old love, friend of my heart
Why don't you talk to me when the lights are out?
Don't say that I crumpled you up and squeezed
Don't say I planted this, don't say I watered this
Sometimes the gentlest love isn't enough

Refrain

Clever young kid under the stars
If you look up, can you point out Mars?
By the time you grow up we'll colonise it too
Isn't that nice for you?
Clever kid in a tent screams at our regimes

Refrain

Who here believes in a god?
Cause he's gone Old Testament now
If I believed in a god
Little dove, get out, get out

Who here believes in a god?
Cause he's gone Old Testament now
If I believed in a god
Little dove, get out

Little dove, get out
Little dove, get out
Little dove, get out

Refrain

Your saint (Juliet)
