I think this song is actually about groupies. Anybody who's been to a Maiden show knows the crowds can get pretty physical. Basically I think it's about a girl going to a Maiden show as a way of rebellion.
If I'm not mistaken, in 1990 the Riot Grrl movement of all girl rock bands was starting to take off. Maybe this could be a reference to that as well?
In fact, there was a Riot Grrl band, The Gits, that referenced Iron Maiden in one of their songs, Slaughter of Bruce. Basically they wrote the song from Bruce's point of view when he was leaving Iron Maiden in 1993.
