1. The Devils is the name of an odd electronic pop project formed by Nick Rhodes and Stephen Duffy.
The first incarnation of the band Duran Duran in 1978 included Rhodes as keyboardist and Duffy as songwriter/vocalist (along with John Taylor and Simon Colley). The band performed live for almost a year before Duffy left the band, moving on to a solo career and The Lilac Time. Duran Duran went on to super stardom, fame, and fortune with singer Simon Le Bon in the 1980s.
In the year 2000, Duffy came across an old tape recording of a live Duran Duran concert from those late 1970s shows. Shortly afterwards, Rhodes and Duffy met by chance at a fashion show, and began talking about the old music. They decided it might be fun to re-record some of those original, dark, art-school, pre-Le Bon Duran Duran songs.
A few months later they took to the studio, using vintage analog instruments but modern production techniques to recreate the early Duran Duran sound. The lyrics remained unchanged.
The resulting album, Dark Circles is an odd blend of past and future. The lyrics are dark and arty, often inspired by Duffy's esoteric reading habits; the music is quirky and futuristic, but it is the electronic, robotic-tinged future of 1979, breathed back into life more than twenty years later.
The band played live only a few times before both members returned to their normal careers in 2001.

The Devils Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leaving god alone
Every rivers running dry I'm going out tonight
We drink small sour drinks & smoke long cigarettes I'm going out tonight
Leaving god alone
In a big store
I ain't no fun time Barbie
I ain't no fun time Charlie
I'm no fun at all
I like going shopping
Shopping in the big store
Shopping in the large store
Or any store that's big Is a big store
I'm going out tonight
Leaving god alone
Every rivers running dry
I'm going out tonight
We drink small sour drinks & smoke long cigarettes
I'm going out tonight
Leaving god alone In a big store
The Devil's "Big Store" is a song that speaks of rebellion and independence. The lyrics are a clear reflection of the desire to break free from the confines of religious belief and morality. The opening lines declare the intention to go out and enjoy a night of indulgence, straying from the path of divinity. The repetition of the phrase "I'm going out tonight" emphasizes the excitement and enthusiasm to break free from the restrictions that held one back from experiencing pleasures such as drinking sour drinks and smoking cigarettes.
The chorus speaks of the singer's love for shopping, but it is not just any store that appeals to them. It is the "big store", a place that encompasses all things and brings a sense of wonder and awe. This love for big stores represents a desire for more than just the mundane and ordinary. It is a search for something greater, something that fills the void that religious beliefs and morality can create.
The verses continuously emphasize the desire to leave religion behind and embrace a carefree and indulgent lifestyle. The lines "I ain't no fun time Barbie/Mandy/Charlie/I'm no fun at all" showcases the lack of interest in conforming to societal standards of what is considered "fun". The singer embraces their own version of entertainment, which is not pleasing to everyone else. The song ends on a final note of the singer breaking free from God, stating that they will be in the "big store" living their version of life.
