its about glue sniffing,long time ago if you couldnt afford or get drugs you would sniff glue to get a buzz,its about paranoia as in everyone lies.i thought it was really obvious.
Sniffing a jar full of cum? Do people do this?I had my mind set on thinking that 'glamorous glue' was a reference to cum, but now I feel I may have overlooked the very very very obvious inference that it is simply glue.
How is it not?
*SNOOORRRRRRRRT*
its always been seen as glamorous especially where money flows,in fact police dont check banknotes in the uk for illicit drugs anymore because just about every banknote is contaminated within weeks of entering circulation.but, how is it glamorous?
