Happiness Is A Warm Gun not about heroin. A gun magazine was sitting there with a smoking gun on the cover and an article that I never read inside called 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' I took it right from there. I took it as the terrible idea of just having shot some animal.
John Lennon
One more stage, one more limo, one more run for your life.
John Lennon
Peace in your mind, peace on earth, peace at work, peace at home, peace in the world.
John Lennon
Don't believe that jazz about there's nothing you can do, turn on and drop out, man - because you've got to turn on and drop in, or they're going to drop all over you.
John Lennon
