Thought it was a reference to heroin, and the opium poppy bulb that it's made from...

'Seeing the light' ? / a sudden beneficial insight or idea ( a lightbulb going on) ? / new spiritual 'growth' ?

Maybe?

I always thought it was about Crystal Meth? Hence the 'Crystal Dynamo' line.

I found this :-

1. crystal meth

A type of methanphetamine that usually comes in small plastic bags with decorations on them called 'papers'. It looks like tiny crystals and can be snorted or eaten, but is usually smoked out of a glass pipe called a rose pipe (sold at some convinient stores and comes with a rose in them) or a lightbulb with the black part where you screw the bulb in removed, and a straw in it to catch the smoke, or sometimes smoked off of tin foil with a straw to catch the smoke and a lighter underneath. Usually doesn't effect the user the first time they use, but makes them feel very happy and speeds up their thoughts, but usually not their bodies as does crank.

At the London or Bradford gig.. don't remember which.. Ginger made some comment about it originally being written about masturbation, but it ended up being about speed (the drug) instead.

I may well have imagined him saying that.. anyone confirm that I'm not cracking up?

Nah, you're totally losing it.

I don't remember him saying that in London. The only Bulb comment I can recall was the dig at the crew for spelling it Blub.

It's about doing Crystal Meth like Ean said. I asked the man himself. You can call Crystal Meth speed if you don't want your habit to sound as bad--It's like me saying I drink socially.

*grin* Yes, I suppose I hang around too many goth clubs.. the stuff really does make people act like idiots.
