I always thought it was about someone in radio - thus the references to the "tower," "favorite little record girl," you can "hear her fine" and she "makes the choices" - et cetera. Perhaps "Shine on me will you please" is a plea to play the singer's records on the air. :)
I've never heard the original, but it would be tough to get any better than this - it's one of my favorites!
