I think it's another referrence to him seing himself as a banevolent dictator. Darby/Bobby/Paul (whatever you wanna call him) always had a pack of his followers with him, people who would do practically anything for him. I think that's what he meant by
"Deep deep deep in my eyes
There's a round round round circle of lives
It's a tame tame tame sort of world "
'Circle One' was a small movement thing he started. When he made good enough firends with people and felt like he really connected with them, he'd burn a circle into their hand with a cigarette. That also explains the cover of G.I. It was his way of taking a bunch of marginalised outsiders and loners and giving them a connection with each other, so they were always part of a larger group of punks and misfits. He also thought it was cool how 25 years later (which is actually around now, come to think of it...) there'd be 2 complete strangers in line at a supermarket or something, and they would notice the marks and there would be that immediate connection between them, because they would both have been a part of the same movement, the same budding culture.
