meaning of lyrics happiness is a warm gun
Happiness Is a Warm Gun According to Lennon, the title came from a magazine cover that producer George Martin showed him: "I think he showed me a cover of a magazine that said 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' It was a gun magazine. I just thought it was a fantastic, insane thing to say. A warm gun means you just shot something."[3] The gun magazine derived the phrase from the bestselling book by Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, Happiness is a Warm Puppy.[4]
Just Give Me a Reason The song is about the desire to hold on to a relationship even when it appears to be breaking down.[1]

Psycho Killer The band's "signature debut hit"[6] features lyrics which seem to represent the thoughts of a serial killer. Originally written and performed as a ballad,[7] "Psycho Killer" became what AllMusic calls a "deceptively funky new wave/no wave song" with "an insistent rhythm, and one of the most memorable, driving basslines in rock & roll."[1]
