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.
My Love
London Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been runnin' round an' round
And my heart is taking chances
On a tightrope, baby
No more words
I can't say how much it hurts
While I'm dacing here beside you
WooooOH!
I wanna give my love to you
I wanna get to you now,
An' really lose control
WooooOH!
No matter what you say or do
Tonight I'm gonna get you girl,
An' I really love you so!
I wanna give my love!
I wanna give my love!
I wanna give my lo-ho-ho-hove!
Lord, I wanna get you one more time
My love!
I wanna give my love!
I wanna give my lo-ho-hove to you.
Tragedy
Is your heart too blind to see
Are you just a kind of lover
That would lead me on, girl
Head to toe
You're a woman, don't you know
An' like a never-ending river
I can feel the fire glow.
WooooOH!
I wanna give my love to you
I wanna get to you now,
An' really lose control
WooooOH!
No matter what you say or do
Tonight I'm gonna get you girl,
An' I really love you so!
I wanna give my love!
I wanna give my love!
I wanna give my lo-ho-ho-hove!
Lord, I wanna get you one more time
My love!

I wanna give my lo-ho-hove to you.
WooooOH!
I wanna give my love to you
I wanna get to you now,
An' really lose control
WooooOH!

Tonight I'm gonna get you girl,
An' I really love you so!
I wanna give my love!
I wanna give my love!
I wanna give my lo-ho-ho-hove!
Lord, I wanna get you one more time
My love!
I wanna give my love!
I wanna give my lo-ho-hove to you.

Up and down
I have been going back and forth in my emotions

And my heart is taking chances

On a tightrope, baby
It feels like a delicate balancing act
No more words

중고등학교부터 90년대 초반 대학신입생때 나이트에가면 빠지지않고 나오던 런던보이즈의 노래들~~ 중년을 넘어서는 지금 가끔은 이시절로 돌아가고싶어 지네요. 그 시절이 그립기도하고....
