She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do, 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 going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Happiness (is a warm gun)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot
Happiness (is a warm gun, momma)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot
(When I hold you in my arms)
Oooooooooh, oh yeah!
And when I feel my finger on your trigger
Oooooooooh, oh yeah!
I know nobody can do me no harm
Oooooooooh, oh yeah!
Happiness (is a warm gun, momma)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot
Happiness (is a warm gun)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot
Yes it is, gun!
Happiness (is a warm gun)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot
Happiness (is a warm gun)
is a warm gun, yeeeaahhh!

Review about Happiness is a Warm Gun Chill out | Reviewer: Amber | 10/26/09
John admitted all the drug stuff so whatever. But he also said most of the songs aren't really about anything. Your digging for a meaning it doesn't have. It's a good song so enjoy it for what it is. A song

for me its all about the music, I know all about the interpretation of the drugs that john was into, but, this music made me just love it! its my all time fave track, mmmnnnn especially the bit in between the last mother superior jumped the gun, and happiness is a warm gun, just appreciated the chords
Gun Magazine | Reviewer: Dan | 8/31/09
John read this line "Happiness is a warm gun in your hand" on the cover of a gun magazine and with his usual poetic genius, turned it into a confusingly twisted masterpiece. Who cares what it is about?
i'm pretty sure | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/26/09
the song is totally about shooting up heroin. finger on the trigger is your finger on the needle as you're pushing it in your vein. happiness is a warm gun is the warm needle. i think it's very obvious what the song is truly about. bang, bang, shoot, shoot the heroin into your veins!
what this means to me | Reviewer: notmuch | 8/3/09
I don't think we will ever find the truth about the real meaning of this song but its fun to have our own meaning for me its about sex and drugs ."bang bang"=the sex part "shoot shoot"= the drug part he's shooting up heroin because "mother superior" =heroin
True Origin of Song | Reviewer: anononomousous | 6/13/09
Its not what anyone says it is. Im pretty sure it was John lennon (or Al Gore, one of the two) that came to me in a dream last night and said: "Jimmy, i want you to tell the world what this song really is about... i was abducted by aliens and one of them was reading a gun magazine and on the front it said happiness is a warm gun and they had a song going on in their ship so i just plugged in that phrase into thier song and came back down to earth without my kidney. The end" somethin like that, i think there were some right parts in there (like the magazine) not sure about the alien ship though lol

Its about drugs, sex, and john's battle w/heroin addiction. The title comes from an ad from a gun magazine. The songs talks about both drugs and sex, which are both addictions. Velvet hand= soft or sensual touch. Mother superior is a heroin term, and jumping the gun seems to me to be about getting the air out of the needle, or so I've read... Finger on your trigger... Finger on her clit... F*ck, how can you not love a song that makes you think soo much! I love the melody of this song... Genius...
Fact- | Reviewer: The Smart One | 5/24/09
John said the song is about a poster that said,"Happiness Is A Warm Gun", a take off of The Peatnut's Comic's "Happiness Is A Warm Puppy". He said he thought it was insane and wrote a song about it.
There's not much more than that.
happiness | Reviewer: Ben | 4/8/09
its about happiness. artificial happiness. which could be drugs. sex. or killing. hes down so he needs a fix. whether its getter high getting laid or putting someone down. mother superior is what controls the universe. he wants her to jump the gun or to give him happiness right now cuz happiness is a warm gun. happiness is instant gratificiation. the backup lyrics saying bang bang shoot shoot is like a subliminal calling to mother superior to give him some happiness.
authority has no happiness | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/16/09
i like the lines where Lennon says " Mother superior jump the gun" my interpritation is that the gun is happiness and mother superior is the government. the government has no joy because they jumped the gun and they spend thier lives making others un-happy.
