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 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!
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.

Throughout the song, he expresses his feelings towards her, but also acknowledges the uncertainty in their relationship.

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
I can't find the words to express my hurt
I can't say how much it hurts

Deep inside the fire burns.

When I was in middle school, I really liked London Boys' songs, including My Love, Halem Desire, I'm gonna give my heart, Dance Dance dance, London night, etc. I keep missing those days.

2022년인 지금 들어도 너무 신나고 좋은 노래입니다.
어릴 때 어딜 가든 참 많이 들렸던 노래라 익숙하고 좋아했던 노래인데 성인이 된 지금은 특히 드라이브할 때 소리를 크게 틀어놓고 운전하면 스트레스가 풀립니다. 두분의 칼군무에 멋진 무대 매너까지 보니 더 좋습니다. ^^
