“Happiness is a warm gun” est sûrement mon morceau préféré des beatles, hormis le “Do do do do do do, oh yeah” du début de la chanson les paroles sont assez crues : “I need a fix cause I’m going down” (j’ai besoin d’un fix ou je vais redescendre), étonnant de la part des beatles que l’on à l’habitude de trouver assez bon enfant…les textes évoquerais la dépendance de John Lennon à l’héroïne à cette époque. Ce titre figure sur le “White Abum” (1968). Elle est essentiellement écrite par John Lennon, bien qu’elle soit créditée Lennon/Mc Cartney.
Une superbe reprise de The Breeders est disponible sur l’excellent album “pod” , la voix de Kim Deal (The Pixies) est envoutante.
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot, Oooooooooh, oh yeah!
Enjoy it!
Lyrics de “Happiness is a warm gun”
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!
