Reviews for Happiness is a Warm Gun Lyrics

it isn't about heroin, john lennon was not using the drug when he wrote this song. it has obvious sexual connotations, so i'm going to go with that.
or it could simply be about drugs and sex and all the things we will do to give ourselves fleeting glimpses of happiness (gun fires off quickly, and we're left worse off than we were before).

its obviously about heroin- he was a heroin addict bang bang shoot shoot- metaphor for injecting heroin- warm gun is heroin- obviously you cook it before you inject it

the song is probably about somebody being raped or molested and how it ruined a life. the only way to be happy is to kill the offender or perhaps yourself. really great song. very beatlesish. the fix is about drugs and how the person being hurt needs them to get by day to day. very beautifully depressing song. one of their best.

John Lennon denied the song was about drugs. According to several interviews the title was taken from an American gun mag and the rest was about Yoko and doing things with her. Lennon was very into having the words say different thing at different levels so I think the debate will go on for years.

It is a great song. But has anyone ever noticed that John Lennon was hopelessly on heroin at the time he wrote the song?

I need a fix cause Im going down...

Cool song on the white album. Not that beatlesish, but the white album isnt that beatlesish anyway. The lyrics are weird, and its basically the same lyrics over and over again until the end and at the beginning. The music changes rhythm and style, but the same chords. Its like rock n roll style all in one song. Good song.

LOVVVE the white album & this would be one of my favs on the album... helter skelter is another fav & ob,la,di ob,la,da and who could forget harrisons best ... while my guitar gently weeps

this is a must have album even if it is jus for this song... worth every penny... penny lane that is hahaha ... do u get it... JOKE ALRIGHT... calm down skidda
