Wikipedia – On the Inside:
On the Inside is the theme song for the Australian soap opera Prisoner. It was written by Allan Caswell and performed by Lynne Hamilton.
Caswell recalled: “I was in the (recording) studio with Lynne Hamilton. She got half way through the song and burst into tears. Anyone who believed in it like that was going to do a good version of it.”
The song was a hit in Australia in 1979 when Prisoner was launched.

Wikipedia – Prisoner / Cell Block H:
The Australian soap opera Prisoner was known in some countries as Prisoner: Cell Block H, and in Canada as Caged Women.
Filmed at the ATV-0/10 studios in Nunawading (Melbourne), episodes of the series originally ran on the 0-10 Network from February 1979 to December 1986, across eight series and 692 episodes (the station moved from channel 0 to channel 10 in 1980).
The series garnered an international cult following, and it was one of Australia’s most successful media exports, screening in 80 countries, performing particularly well in the United States and Canada. It also built a large audience in the United Kingdom and other European countries, especially Sweden.
The cult status of the series has seen many adaptations, including the modern 21st-century re-imaging Australian series Wentworth on Foxtel.

He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then

The song was used in several episodes in 1989 of the long-running (1985-2025) soap opera Neighbours. Like Prisoner, it was originally a Grundy Television production, filmed at ATV-10 in Nunawading (a suburb of Melbourne).
ATV-10 relocated from the station’s famous Nunawading studios to the Como Centre in inner suburban South Yarra in 1992. The Nunawading complex was then operated by Fremantle Media, which continued to produce the series.
