Happiness Is a Warm Gun

About Happiness Is a Warm Gun

"Happiness Is a Warm Gun" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1968 double album The Beatles (also known as "the White Album"). It was written by John Lennon and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. The song, composed into three distinct sections, contains lyrics that have been interpreted by reviewers as a double entendre for guns and Lennon's sexual desire for Yoko Ono. Although tensions were high during the recording sessions for the "White Album", the Beatles worked together as a unit to complete the song's challenging rhythmic issues and time signature changes. George Harrison was able to help out with the time signature changes due to his knowledge of Indian classical music through the sitar, which he had spent the past two years studying. The final portion of the song features backing vocals by Harrison and Paul McCartney. A demo of the song, recorded at George Harrison's Kinfauns home before the album's recording sessions, showed the song in its initial stage, with only a few portions present. An excerpt from the demo was released on Anthology 3 in 1996, with the full demo being released on the super deluxe edition of the "White Album" in 2018. more »

She's not a girl who misses much 
Do-do-do, oh yeah 
  
She's well acquainted 
With the touch of a velvet hand 
Like a lizard on a window pane 
  
Man in the crowd 
With the multicoloured mirrors 
On his hobnail boots 
  
Lying with his eyes 
While his hands are busy 
Working overtime 
  
The sole confession of his wife 
Which he ate and donated to the 
National Trust 
  
I need a fix cause I'm going down 
Down to the abyss that I've left up town 
I need a fix cause I'm going down

Happiness is a warm gun 
Happiness is a warm gun

(Bang, bang, shoot, shoot) 
  
Josephine, do you think you are going bald? 
No. You've asked me that before and the answer was no then.
