| Or it could just be Lola Montez. That's what she gets for hanging out with George Sand. Poor Chopin | |

I am surprised to see that none of you have interpreted it how I have. We all agree that it is about a Lola that grew up being mistreated by her dad, until she ran away. And lets be honest, what would a girl with no money, who was mistreated by her dad, and just on the run alone? Stripper/Prostitue. Here's Lola--ta da!--to do her famous Spider Dance for you! Lighten up your pockets! Shake her skirts and scatter, there, a shrieking, six-legged millionaire with a blight in his sockets. Miss Montez, the Countess of Lansfeld, appealed to the King of Bavaria, saying, "Pretty papa, if you are my friend-- mister daddy longlegs, they are at it again!-- Can I see you?" Is that not blatantly obvious? Her different stage names. Her specialty dances. All the guys spending money on her giving her attention. Then I believe one of her customers falls in love with her. Louis. You caught a fly, floating by, Wait for him to drown in the dust; drown in the dust of other flies, whereby the machine is run, and the deed is done. Heaven has no word for the way you and your friends have treated poor Louis. May god save your poor soul, Lola. (But there is nothing I adore, apart from that whore's black heart.) The end bit is Louis talking in regards to Lola. Louis realizing that, because she will continue to be a whore, and only views him as another customer, he will surely end up heart broken. Then she gets another job at another place, runs into him there as well, that old thing. Next bit is Lola telling Louis, you know, basically, I am not exclusive to you. Here is where things start to get a bit intense. Louis asks Lola to marry him. And Lola agrees. He hires a band, they have a wedding, and now here is where things get even crazier. Even though she realizes that no one would ever love her like Louis loved her, she still left. She is explaining the last night the had together, she remembers everything about it. Basically saying, we were both a bit crushed, we got drunk, high, And i asked you to have one on me. Meaning, as if she was still a prostitute, or stripper. Have on one me, have sex with me, this time just because I want to, you don't have to pay. And then it ends, where it begins. With her father. |
