She's not a girl who misses much... She's well aquainted... She's not a girl who misses much Doo doo doo doo doo doo 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 multicolored 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. Happiness is a warm gun. (Happiness bang bang shoot) Happiness is a warm gun, mama. (shoot, Happiness bang bang shoot) When I hold you in my arms, (shooo ooo ooo oh) And I feel my finger on your trigger, (yea, ooo ooo oh) I know nobody can do me no harm, (yea, ooo ooo oh) Because, Happiness is a warm gun mama. (yea, Happiness bang bang shoot) Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is. (shoot, Happiness bang bang shoot) Happiness is a warm, yes it is, (shoot) Gun ! Don't you know that (Happiness bang bang shoot) Happiness is a warm gun mama. Happiness is a warm gun, mama (shoot, Happiness is a warm gun yea)

À propos de la chanson

La chanson parle d'une femme qui semble très expérimentée, connaissant bien les subtilités de la vie, mais qui évolue dans un monde troublant où les apparences sont trompeuses. On y croise des personnages singuliers, comme cet homme dans la foule, dont les actions cachent des vérités plus sombres. Les paroles parlent aussi de la recherche de quelque chose de réconfortant au milieu du chaos, ce qui peut interpréter une quête d'évasion ou de satisfaction, symbolisée par une arme chaleureuse, comme une métaphore de l'amour ou de la passion. Écrite dans un contexte tumultueux des années 60, la chanson évoque les contradictions d'une époque en plein changement, mêlant liberté et violence d’une manière troublante. La dualité entre le désir de bonheur et les réalités difficiles est palpable, comme un reflet de la société de l'époque où l'innocence perdait peu à peu son éclat.
