Happiness is a warm Gun tk7

Happiness is a Warm Gun appears to be a bit of a mixed bag, which seems to hang together for some reason. The meaning of most Lennon songs can be unravelled, just as I showed for his poetry. In this case, most will agree with a 'anatomical' intepreation of the 'gun' in the song. This also fits the "Mother superior jump the gun' refrain, since Lennon often referred to Yoko as 'Mother'.

The first part is less easy to interpret, because of the interfence from others (Derek Taylor). I read somewhere that they wrote down memories from their visit to Los Angeles, such as the lizard on the windowpane, and the man with mirrors on his boots (to look under girl's skirts) was an actual newspaper clip. Hence, this section is more a 'mr Kite' text, that does not say much about Lennon or anytging in particular, except for setting the slightly threatening mood.

In this remix, the song sequence is left intact; the mix now includes keyboards and percussion from take 7, that did not make it to the relased mix. Furthermore, one of the lead guitars is left out of the mix, revealing some features that were difficult to distinguish, such as the spurious 'down' after the guitar riff, and the brass in the refrain around 1m10s. Overall, a warmere sound, befitting a warm gun.....
