John Lennon: Oh, I like that, one of my best, I had forgotten about that. Oh, I love it. I think it's a beautiful song. I like all the different things that are happening in it. Like "God" [another Lennon song], I had put together some three sections of different songs, it was meant to be - it seemed to run through all the different kinds of rock music.
George Martin had a book on guns which he had told me about - I can't remember - or I think he showed me a cover of a magazine that said "Happiness Is A Warm Gun". It was a gun magazine, that's it: I read it, thought it was a fantastic, insane thing to say. A warm gun means that you just shot something.
