Pearl Hart Lyrics

Lady Pearl in jail lady Pearl in jail
You'll rise
Lady Pearl in jail lady Pearl in jail
You'll fight

A letter from her mother now dying in her bed
Get on home quickly with the medicine
No money in her pocket no wheels to go ahead
She grabbed her colt 44 and

Went along the mountain side
Mama love I'm on my way don't you cry
I'll make it just in time
Mama love I'm on my way don't you cry
Please hold on

The young lady Pearl was dressed
In a man's jeans and a shirt
A stage coach was stopped
And robbed were three passengers
Gave each of them a dollar
Enough for them to eat
Then she disappeared down south and

Went along the mountain side
Mama love I'm on my way don't you cry
I'll make it just in time
Mama love I'm on my way don't you cry

Lady Pearl in jail lady Pearl in jail
You'll rise
Lady Pearl in jail lady Pearl in jail
You'll fight

Pearl Hart

Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies tells the tales of several different American outlaws and gunslingers of the 19th century. This song tells the true story of the noble lady outlaw Pearl Hart, who held up a stagecoach to buy medicine for her dying mother. Armed with a Colt 44, Pearl netted $430. Volbeat vocalist and guitarist Michael Poulsen told BraveWords.com how he learned of Pearl Hart's story: "I started writing those kinds of lyrics and I locked myself into this bubble. It is a process where I read a lot of books and get inspired by movies. When it comes to Pearl Hart, she was a character that I was reading about way back. I had forgotten all about her, but when I started writing material for this new album, I wanted not only to bring up some of the legendary male gunslingers; I wanted to look into the shady ladies as well. I remembered reading about Pearl Hart, so I got back to some of the old books and there she was."

Lola Montez Lyrics

Feel the fire where she walks
Lola Montez so beautiful
Shady and a tempered dame
Blinding your eyes with her spider dance

Her performance 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

Wherever 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, yeah

Feel the fire where she walks
Lola Montez so beautiful
Shady and a tempered dame
Blinding your eyes with her spider dance

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

Wherever 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, yeah

Oh Lola I'm sure that the love would have been
The key to all your pain, the key to all your pain
No words will later come
Did the spider bite your tongue
We will surely not forget
We will surely not forget
The Lola spider dance

Whoa
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, yeah

Lola Montez

This song details 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."

Volbeat debuted the song during the band's appearance in June 2013 at Germany's Rock Am Ring Festival.

Singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom also tells the story of Lola Montez in her 11-minute epic "Have One On Me."

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."

Ecotone Lyrics

I'm the wilderness that eats your bones
You crossed the mark from your civil zone
I might be narrow I might be wide
We share the same line at the same time

Alienized that's how I feel
One foot here and another there
And in between I'll find a name
But what I see is all the same

When you think you are alone
I'm right by your side
Well they call me Ecotone
The cold boundary knife

I'm the second when the lights go out
Caught in between there's no way out
The edge effect that what it is
But still in the center of the place

Changing colors right in front of you
Even though we are one in two
Sharing the balance of the ecotone
Makes the alien breathe no more

Well you thought you were alone
But it was right there by your side
Still they call me the ecotone
The boundary knife

Ecotone Song Chart

Vocalist Michael Poulsen explained the song's meaning to Artist Direct : "If you Google 'Ecotone,' you'll get a really explanation about it," he said. "It's where if you're in the wilderness and you walk around, there will be a certain line where civilization and the wilderness meet exactly. However, there is a difference. You can plant a flower on one side of the line, and it will blossom. Fifteen centimeters away from that line, you won't be able to grow anything, it will die. It's a balance of a center where you almost are at the same place, but the differences are huge. It's where civilization actually meets the wilderness somehow. It's a very interesting subject."

"I took that and thought, "What if 'Ecotone' was something you had in your own system as a human being?" I made a lyric out of it," Poulsen continued. "It's a sensation area between two environments. It's where two communities meet and integrate. Imagine you're building new technology on one side, and the next second you're attacked by a tiger. It's definitely a cool subject."
