[Verse 1: Kim Deal]
She's not a girl who misses much
Do-do-do-do-do, oh, yeah
She's well acquainted with the touch of a 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
The soap impression of his wife
Which he ate and donated to the National Trust
[Verse 2: Tanya Donnelly]
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I've left uptown
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
[Pre-Chorus - Kim Deal]
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 (Oh!)
Mother Superior, jump the gun
[Chorus: Kim Deal]
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
(Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun
(Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
[Spoken Outro: Britt Walford, Josephine Wiggs]

No, you've asked me that before
And the answer was no then
