To me it's Fish's observations of situations (probably mirroring his own) that young people get into.
And finding that link between them - a warm, wet circle.
Ultimately it's about a girls first relationship with a guy where she thinks it's love and he's only after one thing.
The girl meets a cool guy, falls in love, starts planning the future and talking about him to her friends. She's happy.
Then they meet up and get down to it.
And then it's all over.
The circle reference is not just of the warm, wet types. It's a vicious circle that many young girls find themselves in. She feels rejected and will seek love even more - thus leading her to find the next guy who will inevitably end up doing the same thing.
Hence the last line "She'll realise that she played her part in a warm wet circle".
Superb imagery (I've always considered Fish more a poet than just a songwriter) and very clever songwriting.
