1.	In Suspended Animation 03:47	lyrics
Oh my stars, watch me jump Out of the ordinary into the fantastic Message send failure Message send failure Loves just a complicated system of levers & pulleys that causes internal friction As per attached the point of impact looked worse in slow motion In suspended animation In suspended animation I can’t figure out how to switch off the background hum Ears popped to the aftershock In suspended animation In suspended animation I can’t figure out how to switch off the background hum Ears popped to the aftershock As per attached the point of impact looked good in slow motion In suspended animation In suspended animation I can’t figure out how to switch off the background hum Ears popped to the aftershock Shock shock shock Shock shock shock Message send failure Don’t talk to me about dystopian fiction Ears popped to the aftershock

5.	Protective White Light 04:35	lyrics	buy track
Do you remember that summer it was boiling hot in the UK? Walls dripping with condensation from the heat generated by our bodies Sweat cascading from the ceiling, makes you remember what we are missing Maybe it was a pre millennial thing, on the cusp of something The ancient Greeks would have loved this It’s a tune that will never be forgotten, by the ravers in 91, it still raises the hair on the back of my neck, and I get a little rush every time I play it If I close my eyes I can still smell the smoke machines I’m doing liquid with my hands A splash of Paco Rabbane Who really built the pyramids? I guess people like you and I did... I visualise a protective white light that starts from the left and arcs to the right I visualise a protective white light that starts from the left and arcs to the right I visualise a protective white light I visualise a protective white light I love those old classic cars like cavaliers Tweaking the graphic equaliser to within an inch of its life I collapsed outside out of me brackets one night on the bonnet of a Granada estate Days flew into nights and the nights flew into days For the first time in my life I knew what It actually felt like to feel something, To satisfy this desire to be together in order not to be alone Big fish little fish, little fish big fish , little fish big fish, Big fish little fish These videos bring back so many memories I visualise a protective white light that starts from the left and arcs to the right I visualise a protective white light that starts from the left and arcs to the right I visualise a protective white light I visualise a protective white light This is time machine music Moving with the vibrations Cleaning my reeboks classic Covering myself in Fahrenheit looking and smelling like the man big box little box, little box big box, big box little box little box big box, big box little box little box big box IT WAS A BOOM TIME FOR BLOCKBUSTERS Now Feeling a great nostalgia for the pasts imagined futures I visualise a protective white light that starts from the left and arcs to the right I visualise a protective white light that starts from the left and arcs to the right I visualise a protective white light I visualise a protective white light

7.	Instant Grat Track 03:05	lyrics
Have you lost pleasure of anticipation? Has your future merged with now? Maybe it’s an oversimplification That your sweet it soon turns sour Instant gratification x4 owww gimme Instant when you want it instant you want it now x2 Instant gratification x3 owww gimme Have you lost pleasure of anticipation? Has your future merged with now? Strings Gap strings This is getting a little one dimensional need Need a little bit more hesitation Now it’s time to try to get Past the point of temptation Why do I have to wait when I want it when I want it right now? Why do I have to wait when I want it when I want it right now? Maybe it’s an oversimplification That your sweet it soon turns sour Instant gratification x4 owww-space- gimme - now
8.	Old Romantic U 04:57	lyrics
Try not to project your attempts at happiness onto just one person If you’re not certain, If you’re not certain Don’t transfer your anxieties onto other people’s shoulders Heaven help us the reels unravelling You old romantic you, You old romantic you ooooh ooh Brought up by the generation who never drank water Come to think of it I should drink more water Don’t be afraid of the dark when it surrounds you Heaven help us the reals unravelling You, you old romantic you, You, you old romantic you ooooh ooh Is this what life looks like? Is this what life looks like? Is this what life looks like? Is this what life looks like? Yes this is what life looks like, his is what life looks like You old romantic u

LIGHTBULBS (2022 Reissue)
by Fujiya & Miyagi

supported by 37 fans who also own “Message - Send - Failure”

Went to watch new order in London November 2021 and what can I say Fujiya came on and we absolutely loved them and all my mates. Unfortunately it took people so long to get in the arena that lots of people missed them. I have bought the lightbulbs vinyl and now want artificial sweeteners but can’t get it on vinyl. Loved the songs and dead catchy nancy06
