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.
Love Train
London Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the rhythm 'cross the floor
'Cause party time is lovin' time
An' I feel it more and more
You don't need a ticket if you wanna dig it
Come on up and step on in
Do the locomotion with true devotion
We're travelin' 'cross the land
Love train baby
We're ridin' high on the
Love train baby
Just you an' I
Love train baby
Another night on my
Love train
Live it up, gonna use it up
Come on move your body
Live it up, gonna use it up
Let's make love tonight
Live it up, gonna use it up
Come on move your body
Live it up, gonna use it up
Get down, get down
Aggravation, crime an' modern times
We're losing day by day
Better turn around and break for love
There ain't no other way
Like a river rising, hypnotizing
Can you feel the force?
Every sister, brother, black an' white
Everybody step on board

+Tomasz Soter Ja też długo tego szuklałem. :P Jeydnym źródłem była stara kaseta z hitami (oczywiście niezbyt oryginalna, więc bez etykiety). Pomógł mi Shazam. Polecam do znajdywania starych hitów. ^^
