Lola Montez Lyrics
Jump to:
Feel the fire where she walks
Lola Montez so beautiful
shady and a tempered dame
blinding your eyes with her spider dance
Her perfomance utterly erotic subversive to all ideas
and for public morality
and cool as she was she didn't care
see the miner throw his gold
lifting her skirt howling loud like a wolf
hell raising and full of sin
when lola was dancing and showing her skin
Whereever she walks
she will be captivating all the men
don't look in her eyes
you might fall and find the love of your life heavenly
but she'll catch you in her web
the love of your life
Well notorious I have been
but never for fame that's what she said
dear Henry taste my whip
never to see any words you print
Oh Lola I'm sure that the love would have been
the key to all your pain
no words will later come
did she spider bite your tongue
we will surely not forget the lola spider dance
Lola Montez so beautiful
shady and a tempered dame
blinding your eyes with her spider dance
Her perfomance utterly erotic subversive to all ideas
and for public morality
and cool as she was she didn't care
see the miner throw his gold
lifting her skirt howling loud like a wolf
hell raising and full of sin
when lola was dancing and showing her skin
Whereever she walks
she will be captivating all the men
don't look in her eyes
you might fall and find the love of your life heavenly
but she'll catch you in her web
the love of your life
Well notorious I have been
but never for fame that's what she said
dear Henry taste my whip
never to see any words you print
Oh Lola I'm sure that the love would have been
the key to all your pain
no words will later come
did she spider bite your tongue
we will surely not forget the lola spider dance

Lola Montez Info:
This song is about the life of Irish born Lola Montez, (1821 - 1861) who became famous as an erotic dancer.
Her infamous "Spider Dance" ensnared King Ludwig I of Bavaria and she became his mistress.
"She's very interesting if you look into all the details around her; she was definitely shady,"
Volbeat frontman Michael Poulsen told BraveWords.com.
"I just thought, how the hell? If you read about her, there's so many things that come up. She's been all around, flirting with a lot of royal men. At that time, having the kind of act that she had with her Spider Dance... people were coming to her show, the miners were throwing their gold in front of her because she would be lifting up her skirt so they could see everything. She was very controversial, but at the same time she was very beautiful and all the men were totally drawn to her. It's a very interesting character."
Poulsen told Classic Rock magazine about his writing for the Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies album: "I wanted to bring in some characters that people weren't so familiar with or maybe had heard a little about," he said. "Lola Montez is not a typical character, the same with Pearl Hart. I wanted to find characters who were a little bit deranged."
"Mostly the inspiration came from books as I read a lot," he continued. "The same with Black Bart who is one of my favourite characters. Of those three names they are all real characters who were alive."
