Re: About sniffing glue because
Sniffers of glue habitually put strong adhesives, solvents etc in jam jars so that they can be sniffed. LASID is wrong by suggesting that the use of 'jar' is meaning a pint glass. For a better understanding go through the lyric replacing "with the jar" with "sniffing glue" and it'll all look clearer. Obviously there is nothing glamorous about sniffing glue, which is why it's such a genius name for a song, and he never actually mentions glue, but you're supposed to know what he means.
