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.
4. LINE UP

Hawks Do Not Share
The Devils Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please stay with me I love you
You are a dream believe me
We cut our hair
We go to bed
Sleep scented head
Now we know our promises were true & we know a burden has been shared
Hawks don't share
Hawks don't share they gather in
Hawks don't share
Hawks don't share
No history to forget
Not fame & fortune to regret
We tried so hard to find the truth
Don't leave me here
Then I see your hands outstretched to me & I know the role I played was false
But Hawks don't share they gather in
Hawks don't share
Hawks don't share they gather in
Hawks don't share
Hawks don't share they gather in
Hawks don't share
Hawks don't share
Dark eyes you've got new clothes
Clothes Clothes

The song "Hawks Do Not Share" by The Devil's is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that speaks of love, promises, and the harsh realities of life. The first few lines of the song are about new beginnings and starting afresh; it speaks of change with "dark eyes you've got new clothes, please stay with me, I love you." The singer of the song seems to be talking to a significant other, urging them to stay.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the characters in the song are trying to escape something; they "cut their hair, go to bed, sleep, scented head," implying that they are trying to wipe the slate clean and forget. The line "now we know our promises were true, and we know a burden has been shared," serves as a reminder that they made a promise to each other to move forward together and forget the past.
However, the metaphor of the hawk is used in the song to emphasize the harsh realities of life. While the characters were trying to escape their past and find peace, the line "but Hawks don't share, they gather in," implies that the world doesn't care about their struggles, and it will only get tougher from here on.
Overall, "Hawks Do Not Share" speaks of the human desire to start over, find love, and move forward. It speaks of the harsh realities of life that can not only dampen but shatter one's hopes and dreams.

We've made a change and cut away something that no longer served us

It's time to rest
Sleep scented head
Our heads are fragrant with the smell of sleep

We've fulfilled our promises and lifted a weight off our shoulders
But Hawks don't share they gather in
Hawks are selfish and prefer to keep things for themselves

You are obviously insane. Nick is the driving force behind Duran Duran. Of course, it would not be DD without the Le Bon vocals, but really, Nick has kept it all going and should be respected for his contributions to the music world.

wow, this is amazing! how much did they record (& is anything available?)
Andrea Milnes Petersen
Sooo deliciously gothic! As if I needed more of a reason to adore Nick.

I'd have to say, there's a reason for everything. Thank God for Simon. You know, Stephen is just kicking his own ass by now. Duran just wouldn't be the same without S.J.C.L. The best band ever........period!!!!!! D.D. forever!

Simon = has charisma, and has fame & fortune, but that's mainly due to him being in DD in the 80s. Also, his yacht accident was a big deal in '85. Duffy = has actual musical talent & an expansive recording catalog - solo and with the Lilac Time, & he got to work with many talented and diverse people. None of this would have been possible if he were to stay with DD. As opposed to kicking his own ass, he is contributing to a documentary that was made on his career. It's due out this year.

This is great!

The title of this song was taken from an essay written by Ernest Hemingway that can be found in his book A Moveable Feast.

@IIIIdepechemodeIIII actually it was John who bailed and came back as well as Roger. Nick never bailed, he actually owns the Duran Duran name. He and Simon are the only two who never left. As for the Devils, I love them too. Steven Duffy started with the group, but for some reason they parted ways before they became Duran Duran.
