Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's not a girl who misses much
Do-do-do-do-do-do, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Happiness is a warm gun (Happiness, bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, mama (Happiness, bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
[Bridge]
When I hold you in my arms (Oh yeah)
And I feel my finger on your trigger (Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh yeah)
I know nobody can do me no harm (Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Because- is a warm gun, mama (Happiness, bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is (Happiness, bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
[Outro]
Happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun (Happiness, bang, bang)
Well, don't you know that happiness is a warm gun, mama (Shoot, shoot, happiness is a warm gun, yeah)
