Cover art for Sing! Captain lyrics by Handsome Furs

I think its kinda like saying there's beauty in the grime and muck of the city like in the line

I stood outside in the bright black night Beneath their buzzing power lines And I saw a number in the sky, in the sky

i think hes talking about neon lights of a city even tho they very well could be advertising something stingy like a liquor store
