Mountain Goats, The - Jam Eater Blues Lyrics
Life is too short to refrain from eating jam out of the jar.
Life is too short to refrain from eating jam out of the jar.
And life is too short to wait around for you to come home tonight.
Life is too short,
Too short to do that.
Life is too short to leave the windows open all winter long.
Life is too short to leave the windows open all winter long.
I'm gonna lock 'em up tight and eat jam out of the jar all night.
'Cause life is too short to make toast,
Or use spoons or napkins.
Life is too short to spend the rest of it down here in tampa.
Life is too short to spend the rest of it down here in tampa.
Yeah, life is too short to let it go to waste like this,
But I never tasted jam before that tastes like this.

Too short to do that

So if we know strawberries are a metaphor for sex from I've Got The Sex and we know John has consistent metaphors across song from stuff like Soft Targets and Goddamn These Vampires then can we assume that Strawberry Jam and the eating thereof is masturbation to memories of sex.
the line "life is too short to wait around for you to come home tonight" would certainly support that conclusion.
Darn tootin'
i mean i was pretty content with this song just being about eating jam out of a jar and the image it creates for any indulgent act...
