Although they lived near Hamburg, Germany since 1981, they had actually met when they were at school in London. They were formed in 1986 as a vehicle for songwriter and producer - Ralf-René Maué. Their musical style was catchy and highly infectious Eurobeat dance music combined with choreography acquired during their experience as Rollerblade dancers prior to forming London Boys. Consequently their early releases were marketed towards the Eurodisco scene.
They are remembered mainly for singles from their classic 1989 album The Twelve Commandments Of Dance, which peaked at No.2 on the UK charts. Most notable of these songs were London Nights, which peaked at No.2, and Requiem, which reached No.4 and was their breakthrough chart entry in April 1989. Another single, a remixed version of their 1987 release Harlem Desire, reached No.17.
Their second album "Sweet Soul Music" was released in 1991 and the 3rd album "Love 4 Unity" in 1993. The 4th album "Hallelujah Hits" was released in 1995. This album was relased under the name of "The New London Boys" and it was a combination of religious music and eurobeat dance music.
Chapel Of Love
London Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cryin' cryin' ho ha
Cryin' cryin' ho ha
Refrain
Every night I see the little girl
She's walking down the aisle
I hear the people praying
Bring her back to me
I hear the music playing
And it's haunting me
Oh yes I know know yes I know
Crying at the
Chapel of love
Another day goes by without you
I love you
Chapel of love
I'm crying in the night
I'm on the run again
Chapel of love
And there ain't nothing else I can do about it
I'm left without hope
Down at the chapel of love
Refrain
Broken dreams, a tale of old lang syne
The bells are ringing
Maybe you will still be mine
When I awake tomorrow in a bed for two
I'm sure a silly fool
To keep on missing you
The lyrics of London Boys's song Chapel of Love explore themes of heartbreak, loss, and the lingering pain of lost love. The song tells the story of a man who is haunted by the memory of a lost love whom he believes he has seen walking down the aisle at a chapel. The man hears the music playing and the people praying, and is overwhelmed with sadness and longing. He cries out in desperation, knowing that he is unable to do anything to bring his lost love back to him.
The chorus of the song, which is repeated throughout, is a haunting refrain of "Cryin' cryin' ho ha" that underscores the man's sense of helplessness and despair. He acknowledges that he is a "silly fool" for continuing to miss his lost love, but he cannot help himself. The final lines of the song suggest that the man may still hope to be reunited with his lost love, with the bells ringing and the possibility that they will "still be mine."
Overall, Chapel of Love is a powerful and emotionally charged song that speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and longing. Its lyrics are filled with vivid images and powerful emotions that will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced the pain of lost love.
