Hi. This is my first contribution, sorry if my english is not very good. I wanted to express my interpretation because I haven't seen any that I completly agree, even there are a lot of suggesting ones. For me this song is, yeah, about a night of real love and sex, about the begining of a relationship, that can't take the "lean on" of traditional and conventional love. No God ("hands of above") or tradition can make any guaranty, and, in fact, doesn't seem to be a problem. One night, ten days, wathever time it lasts, if there is real love (and of course, good and true sex), then it's "good enough", and no "lean on" on any supernatural thing (god, "tradition", marriage, etc.") would make it better.
Great song, confronting stupidity and predjuices, gorgeous lyric. Not that sure, but in the context of denying the hands of God to lean on a relationship, the "hand of the devil" sounds to me as taking our own decitions (maybe one night of wild sex, why not?) out of any supposed metaphysical "right way". Choosing the hand of the devil means, as standing against tradition (marriage maybe, sex represion, etc.), to be the true makers of our lives, concerning only to the realy important things (love, pleasure, sharing... humanity and not what a group of priest call "divinity")... then, we'll really have a "divinie sense".
Well, that's my interpretation, what do you think?
