This song must be about a nice girl that for some yet unidentified reasons has been brought into prostitution, and a bad Ford Mondeo driving male who is not going to accept being turned down by no prostitute...

He picks her up some days later, and now you can not only see in his eyes that "he's got a driving ban amongst some other offences", but also that he has a nasty plan. The singer/story teller hopes the girl is not involved at all, but when the sun goes down he drives over the river and out of town. We can only speculate on what happens to the girl, but it is no doubt a part of the terrible occupational risks of being a street prostitute.
