I agree to what most of you said. It is about Glasgow, the shipyard, the harbourfront, the waterfront. This song catches this rough, cold and dirty atmosphere perfectly. The crashing beat, the melodics seem to bring back this "forgotten" place to life. Really fantastic what good!! music is able to do. (compared to nowadays shit)
Another great example for this kind of "effect" is "Steeltown" by Big Country.
