The lyrics are oblique but there seem to be connections to the industrial changes in Britain during the Thatcher era. I base this on the shipyards closing & reference to Maggie (Mrs.Thatcher). Essentially this is the working man asking who to blame for the crisis (how history repeats itself). The jump start & power lines of your love reference may be an appeal to those in government & industry leaders to kick start the ailing industries with an injection of assistance; otherwise they may find crime on their doorstep (Knightbridge) as honest workers turn to crime.
My favourite Jethro Tull song.
