There's no info on this song on any other site that I have found, but to me it seems to tell the not-so-uncommon story of a young horny male who accidentally crosses the 'line' one night and ends up in the slammer, gets out, and finds that society will have nothing to do with him -- even if it all did indeed start with the so-called victim inadvertently indicating via body language that she wanted what he had to offer. I don't know about Britain, but here in the states, once you are a convicted felon your employment options are drastically limited and it often takes an act of God or a damn good lawyer to convince the 'powers that be' that the recipient of said felony is once again capable of being a functioning and law-abiding citizen.
I'd slightly disagree with you atknight. As I read it this is about a miscarriage of justice, where the young man has been falsely accused of rape.
The "Victim," presumably older and wiser, admits this after 20 years..."Singing it over again, telling a different story."
And I'd agree with stex that the instrumental section is the prisoner's eventual joy at having a life again.

My take on it anyway.
