Letra de
Happiness Is A Warm Gun

‘Happiness Is a Warm Gun’ fue compuesta por John Lennon con contribuciones de Paul McCartney y es conocida por su compleja estructura, con varias secciones distintas. Lennon se inspiró en una revista que llevaba el titular Happiness Is a Warm Gun, que le pareció absurdo. La canción trata temas como adicción, sexo y violencia, de manera alegórica y abstracta.

She's not a girl who misses much
Du du du du du du Oh yeah
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors on his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the National Trust


I need a fix 'cause I'm goin' down, down to the bits that I left up town
I need a fix 'cause I'm goin' down
Mother Superior jump the gun, Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun, Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun, Mother Superior jump the gun
Lyrics in () are spoken, with "oo" etc in back

Happiness is a warm gun (happiness, bang bang shoot shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, mama (happiness, bang bang shoot shoot)
When I hold you in my arms (ooooh oh yea)
And I feel my finger on your trigger (oooh oh yea)
I know nobody can do me no harm, because (oooh oh yea)
Happiness is a warm gun mama (happiness, bang bang shoot shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun yes it is (happiness, bang bang shoot shoot)
Happiness is a warm yes it is
Gun Don't you know that
Happiness is a warm gun mama, etc.
