Группа London Boys была образована в 1986 году в Гамбурге. Два друга детства, Эдем Эфраим (Edem Ephraim), родившийся 1 июля 1963 года, и Деннис Фуллер (Dennis Fuller), появившийся на свет 19 июня 1963, познакомились в средней школе в Гринвиче. В 1981 году они переехали в Гамбург и работали в группе "Рокси Роллерс" как уличные музыканты и актёры. Название группы сложилось само собой: их немецкие друзья в разговоре так зачастую и определяли двух друзей - "эти парни из Лондона!".

Выпустив в 1986 году свой первый сингл "I'm Gonna Give My Heart", группа сразу же зарекомендовала себя в ритмичном евродиско. Продюсером группы стал небезызвестный Ральф Рене Мауе (Ralf Rene Maue). На волне царившего в Европе диско сингл получил некоторую известность, хотя в чартах не наблюдался. Спустя год выходит ещё один сингл - "Harlem Desire". По не совсем ясным причинам этот замечательный сингл потерпел фиаско в Германии, хотя вошёл в британскую десятку.

Наконец, осенью 1988 года группа выпускает полноценный альбом и новую песню "Requiem", которая фантастическим образом делает группу по-настоящему знаменитой. Первый альбом "The Twelve Commandments Of Dance" ("Двенадцать заповедей танца") распродаётся полностью (а печатался он только на Германию и Японию) и поэтому был допечатан новым тиражом и с небольшими изменениями в трек-листе по всей Европе спустя несколько месяцев. Это был кульминационный момент. Благодаря профессиональному подходу продюсера и отличному вокалу ребят, прекрасным аранжировкам и хорошо выставленному звуку альбом слушается на одном дыхании. Появление в дополнительном издании песни "London Nights" и параллельный выпуск её синглом стало венцом успеха группы: сингл занял 2-е место в британском хит параде.

London Boys были частыми гостями на телевизионных шоу, ребята с удовольствием выступали на клубных площадках. Во многом они предвосхитили тот стиль поведения на сцене, который гораздо позже переняли многочисленные бойз-бэнды девяностых. Каждая композиция в исполнении Эдема и Денниса представляла собой полноценный концертный и танцевальный номер, в котором парни выкладывались на все сто. Следующий альбом группы вышел только в 1991-м году. Музыка на "Sweet Soul Music" сильно отличалась от старых песен. Появились песни в стиле хаус, реггей (одноименная песня даже была посвящена корифею этого стиля Бобу Марли). Практически каждая композиция содержала в себе элементы рэпа, разве что только вышедшая годом ранее синглом "Chapel Of Love" очень напоминала классический саунд London Boys образца 1988-1989 годов. Самой удачной и танцевальной, пожалуй, получилась задорная вещица "Love Train". Диск "Love 4 Unity", выпущенный в 1993 году, показал, что дуэт в очередной раз сменил стиль в угоду модным веяниям. Разумеется, мелодии, написанные всё тем же Ральфом Рене Мауе, по-прежнему ласкали слух, а ритм композиций идеально подходил для дискотек.

К сожалению, долгая пауза, возникшая после такого бурного успеха и первый альбом, состоящий из отборнейших диско-треков, сыграли печальную роль в дальнейшей судьбе их студийных проектов. Последующие творения группы не были замечены в чартах, хотя ребята изо всех сил пытались соединить в своих работах свой фирменный диско-заряд и новейшие веяния моды. Группа выпала из обоймы, как выпадали в середине 90-х многие диско-гиганты. Стоит восхититься тем, с какой настойчивостью Деннис, Едем и Ральф пытались сделать свои альбомы более или менее массовыми.
Особое внимание следует уделить их последнему альбому 1995 года "Hallelujah Hits", который был выпущен под изменённым названием группы - "The New London Boys" (причина чего, возможно, крылась в переходе ребят с лэйбла "Warner" на "Polydor"). В этот раз была предпринята попытка соединения католических госпелов и техно-ритма 90-х. Попытка была настолько необычная и неожиданная, что, к сожалению, этот альбом оказался самым провальным по продажам. Он (равно, как и два сингла с него) остался практически незамеченным.

Закончилась история London Boys трагически. 21 января 1996 года, путешествуя в Австрийских Альпах, Деннис и Эдем погибают при лобовом столкновении своей машины с машиной нетрезвого швейцарца на одном из опасных участках альпийского высокогорья. Вместе с ними погибли жена Эдема и их друг - ди-джей из Гамбурга.

"Парни из Лондона" оставили след в небе европейской диско-музыки как одна из самых позитивных, созидательных групп, изначально певших о любви, человеческой дружбе, расовой терпимости и вере в Бога.

Тексты песена альбома The Twelve Commandments Of Dance (1988)


Requiem

Never gonna get enough
Never gonna get enough
Never gonna get enough
Never gonna get enough
Never gonna get enough
Never gonna get enough

Eat kiss cry a lot
And the whole world's living in a parking-lot
Because you know, I'd be the guardian angel of
Of our destiny. I said: Hip, man! Rise up and
The rain was falling in the papercup
Because you girl and me
We'll climb the mountain of eternity, 'cause

I love you! I – I – I – I – I!
I love you! I – I – I – I – I!

You're the love of my Life, my life, my life!
An' I won't let you go now

This is a requiem for:
Love, our love, our love is a miracle now, wooh

Like a thief in the night, the night, the night!
I was begin' for love

This is a requiem for:

Life has set me free
Takin' a chance on you and me
This is the story now,
A requiem for love.

Never gonna get enough
Never gonna get enough
Never gonna get enough
Never gonna get enough
Never gonna get enough
Never gonna get enough

I said 3 – 2 – 1 go
We quit the party, let the fire glow
Because I feel the need
The burning fever that is guaranteed
To make you feel twice as nice
And light the magic in your angel-eyes
Just you girl and me
The guardian angels of our destiny, and

I love you! I – I – I – I – I!
I love you! I – I – I – I – I!


Kimbaley (My Ma-mama say)

1) Drop your dreams on the 1 – one!
Drop your schemes on the 2 – two!

Every day, better get away
And there's nothing you can do,
Oh honey,

Trade your life on the 1 – one!
Swap your soul on the 2 – two!

Every day, hear the people say
That there's nothing there for you,
But we say:

2) Brother-love is the key – right!
Hatin' people is wrong – wrong!

Every day, there's a better way
And there's so much we can do,
Oh Honey,

Buildin' heaven is right – right!
Demolition is wrong – wrong!

Up and down all around the globe
Let the people sing this song,
Oh honey

Sweet love hight on emotion
Life is a wonder, let it come true
Reach out your hands and you'll get the notion
There is no lo-ove without you! Uuh, yeah

Refrain: Kimbaley my ma-mama say
Kimbaley my ma-mama said, I love you girl
Proud and livin' free! Hey! Hey! Hey!

3) Drop your fearson the 1 – one!
All your cares on the 2 – two!

Trouble-shootin' is over now
And the countin's da one for you
'cause we say:

Bridge: Deep in my mind, there's wrong and
A right, I know
And it's gettin' better
Count all my fears, walk away from the tears,
I'll go
Where the sun is shining bright
Under southern skies...


Harlem Desire

New York, can take your life
"big apple" makes you pay the price
In New York, yeah, yeah,

Walk down the avenue
Might as well be on the moon
In New York, yeah, yeah

Oh, look out!
There's trouble in the dark

Look out!
The trail of the shark
In New York, yeah, yeah

Oh, look out!
They know all the tricks
Look out!
Better make it quick
You hear them laughing right behind you
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Harlem desire!
Let our children play with toys
'n no more guns fro little boys

This is my Harlem desire!
Just one night of peaceful sleep
And no more fighting in the streets, yeah

Ha ha ha ha Harlem!
In: ha ha ha ha Harlem!
In: ha ha ha ha Harlem!
In: ha ha ha ha Harlem!

Candy's kinda neat
But "sugar-hill" is bitter sweet
In New York, yeah, yeah

So you cry out, 'n never leave
'cause Harlem road's a oneway-street
In New York, yeah, yeah


Chinese Radio

It was back in '69, like a night mare cryin'
In a hotel bed on the coast
Happy Shanghai girls,
Like a pretty string of pearls
And a snow storm up in my nose.

I was on my way to heaven, with a funky red 11
And a switchblade job on the side
Hear the music playin' and my heartbeat prayin'
To the airways out in the night.

Ouuh, radio! I love my radio! My chinese radio
Ouuh, radio! I love my radio! My chinese radio,
Ouuh

Oh, I could write a million stories
Tales of love and hate and pain
And my fears would truly frighten
Any ordinary man.

Is there someone out there laughing?!
Walking in the pouring rain,
Lord, I'm sure I know the answers
But it's too hard –
To explain.

Now my head is burning, an' I feel it turning
In an igloo up on the moon
Saying: Lord, have mercy on a guy from Jersey
And it falls back into my room.

Just a stranded tourist,
An' I wouldn't touch the purest
If I ever get out here alive
While the FM-switches and the green-light digits
Keep in touch with the world outside.

Bridge: Just a river on the run, now
I'm flyin' and I won't touch down
Got nowhere left to run,
I get on my knees and pray!


Wichitah Woman

Love was gone in your eyes
Like the clear morning skies
Our love would never be
The cheerful days
The stormy nights
A burnin' mystery.

Like a thief in the night
Run away, and I hide
Don't know the reason why
I lie awake, and think of you
I love you –
For the rest of my life.

Fell in love,
Got it rough,
Had enough, with a Wichitah woman!
She was cool like a breeze
Lookin' out for a Wichitah man, woooh!

Fell in love,
Got it rough,
Had enough, with a Wichitah woman!
She thought I was the one
But I wasn't her Wichitah man.

She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Boy you turn my life around and
Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Boy you spin me turnin'
Round an' round.

Eagle fly in the night
Take me high in the sky
That's where I wanna be
The wheels of time
Will make it rhyme
A page in history.

Silver moon in the night
Broken dreams in my mind
Don't know the reason why


My Love

Up and down
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
Deep inside the fire burns.

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.


London Nights

Give a little love, and love lasts forever
Give a little love, and don't make me cry
Give a little love, a year is an ocean
Give a little love, a year is good-bye

Give a little love, a plane that is leaving
Give a little love, a heart on the ground
Give a little love, where music is leading
Give a little love, the lost and the found.

Bridge: We let live an' let love live beside us
We're like everybody else,
The route to guide us
Gives us hope and all across the nation
Everybody fun and recreation!

London nights!
Wanna party right and the fever drives you.

London nights!
Wanna party right and the fever drives you.

London nights!
Wanna party right and the fever drives you wild
Wanna party right and the fever drives:

I – I – I wanna get up tonight
I wanna keep on loving you
I – I – I gotta feelin' that's right
I wanna give you all my love for you.

Give a little love, I walk through the city
Give a little love, there's food in the air
Give a little love, hello Picadilly
Give a little love, the wind in my hair

Give a little love, the beat of tomorrow
Give a little love, from Rome to LA
Give a little love, just move a bit closer
Give a little love, do ya hear what I say?!


I'm Gonna Give My Heart

I'm gonna give my heart
I'm gonna give my heart
I'm gonna give it,
Never leave a teardrop in the dark
I'm gonna take my pride
The trouble and the strife
This time you'll find me standin' up and quiet
Prepared to fight

I'm gonna take you up
I'm gonna take you down
I'm gonna step into your life and turn it
Round an' round
I'm gonna kiss your lips
I'm gonna feel your hips
I'm gonna let your body melt into my fingertips

Nothing ever last forever
nothing stays the same
In the world you will discover
Rainbows follow rain:

I'm gonna give my heart
Gonna give it from the start
Give it; right from the start
Yes I'm gonna give my heart
Gonna give it all I got
And heaven knows I got a lot.

Gonna give my heart
Gonna give my heart
I'm gonna give it all I got
Gonna give my heart
Gonna give my heart
I wanna give you all my love.

I'm gonna saddle up
Don't wanna settle down
I'm gonna saddle up tonight
We're gonna paint the town
No matter what you say
No matter how you pray
I'm sick and tired of waitin' for you,
Walking in the rain.


El Matinero

Hey you! Do the matinero, I said a
Hey you! Do the matinero.

1) The matinero is the kind
When the woman loves her baby
Like a runner in the night
She was dancing', girl like crazy
She says: Love is the answer to it all,
Over and over:

Hey you! Do the matinero, I said a
Hey you! Do the matinero.

2) You gotta move it in the night
Grab your feet and be no squaro
Dancin' in the morning light
'til the chicks say: Bouena sera
baby, love is the answer to it all,
Over and over:

Do the matinero!

Bridge: Just when you feel those rain clouds
Inside your head
Another dream, a love you never had...
Another day, another night so cold
Just turn around before you're getting,
Older and older:

Hey you! Do the matinero, I said a
Hey you! Do the matinero.

3) The matinero is the dance
That will take your body under
If you want it, here's the chance
hear the drum beat roll like thunder
Baby, love is the answer to it all,
Over and over:

Do the matinero!


Dance! Dance! Dance!

Dancing!
My world is a sunny holiday
Blue skies are waiting
I'm on my way.

I'm all out of love
baby, blue and alone
I need your hot love energy
I dial and I dial
Baby, pick up the phone
An' give me hot love energy

It's a Saturday night
Got music on my mind
But then, my feet don't wanna move
I need you honey,
Dancin' by my side
To get right in the groove.

I'm dancing!
My world is a sunny holiday
Blue skies and music
Are here to stay

I'm dancing!
Romancing my lonely life away
Good, good times and music
I'm on my way.

Dance! Dance! Dance!
Keep your body moving
Dance! Dance! Dance!
Movin' and a groovin'
Dance! Dance! Dance!
The Boogie-Woogie-Woogie, right now.

Oh, your kinda love
Drives you baby insane
You give me hot love energy
Around an' around an' around it goes
I need your hot love energy

Communication's purely physical
You gotta feel it in your shoes
Your body talks,
We don't need words at all
To get right in the groove.

When we're dancing...
This world is a sunny holiday
True blue skies and music...


Sandra

Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know,
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know,
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know,
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know

1) Livin' will be easier tomorrow
That is waht my friends would always say
A truer love will surely come my way-y
But pickin' up the pieces ain't so easy
Lord, I'm crying in the rain
But I'd do it all gain, for

Sandra!
Oh, Sandra!
Tonight I call your name
I don't know where to go
Without that lovin' feeling

Oh, Sandra!
Oh, Sandra!
Please help me if you ca-an

The tears are in my eyes
Yes, tonight I need you

Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know,
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know,
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know,
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know

2) The constellation of two hearts together
Playin' hide an' seek, no room for love
Just victims of the lonely circumstance
Just strike a kiss,

And when your hearts on fire
You will touch the burning flame...

Lord, I'do it all again

Oh, Sandra!
Oh, Sandra!
Please help me if you ca-an

The tears are in my eyes
Yes, tonight I need you

Sandra! Sandra!
Wo-oh-wo-oh-wo-oh
I need you so-oh
Huuuuu

Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know,
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know,
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know,
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know

Тексты песен альбома Sweet Soul Music (1991)


Sweet Soul Music

Dreams will live in every new generation
We send our music right across the nation
Let everybody see the world that we're building
And all the precious love and joy it's bringing.

Rap: Hear the rhythm, feel the sound
Detroit city all around
Move your body, take ya' chance

Get up and dance!

Sweet soul music!
Talkin 'bout
Sweet soul music!
From the valley to the hill
Ain't nobody standin' still
Everybody's jumpin'
Listenin' to the record spin;

Sweet soul music
Gimme some
Sweet soul music!
Feel the power and the love
Of the higher grounds above.

Songs that tell about love and emotion
And every tune is like a true devotion
Let every sister, brother hear what we're saying
Let there be love and peace for all, I'm praying.


Tonight! Tonight!

Is it really gonna matter
Is it really gonna hurt
Will my heart break in time?

Am I standing on a ladder
Am I really on the brink
Am I just losing time?

My friends keep saying you're bad for me
I don't mind – , when we're together...

I never listen, I'm missing you
'til tonight – , when love makes it right.

Tonight! Tonight!
I'm going to get more than ever

Tonight! Tonight!
Yeah, we're gonna have stormy weather

Tonight!
Clumbing to the stars.

Tonight! Tonight!
I'm going to say: 'You and me, love"

Tonight! Tonight!
Yeah, we're going to sail through the sea of

Love!
Never get enough.

Is the magic here forever
Are you really going to stay
Tell me why should I lie?

Would it really be so clever
To mistrust your fairy-tale
While my heart is so blind?

We're all alone in another world
You and I – , happy together...

You're holding me, like I'm holding you
All the time – , ahead of all time.


Freedom

Peace was on my mind
When I woke up I was cryin'
'cause my dream had gone
And the vision I could see
All the world would truly live as one.

There's no place for doubt and fear
At this special time of the year
If you're young at heart
We are solid walls of sound
And we're singing every word out loud!

Freedom for all,
That we keep once and for all
That is my prayer
I know –
There's bound to be sweet

Freedom for me
And all the world that I see
I have a dream
Gonna live it together
Everybody all around the world!

Years are rushing by
Time is short for you and I
Will we ever learn?!
Give your fellow man a hand
Only love will make the tables turn.

So let's all stand up and fight
'gainst the killing and the strive
'cause we got no choice
Every minute, every hour
Sing out loud and shout it,
You're the voice!


Is This Love?!

Silly fools hold on
When they really should be gone
Despite your own confusion,
I'm your number 1., but

Why, in all the world,
Do we struggle through the years
Inflictin' one another
Solitary tears...

Is this love?!
That's all I' m asking

Is this love?!

Truly love?!
That's all I' m asking

Is this love?!

Hear the silence roar
Kisses frozen to the core
Your heart-strings just need tuning
Give a little more, as

I will try to be
All the things you see in me
We're soul mates, brother, sister
Somewhere lost at sea...

Logically it seems
Two people stick together
Never get the gist
Of what life's meant to be –
But if we do agree
Will love last forever young?
Forever young?


Bob Marley

Now, the angels have all gone from a Babylon
They're crying tears that rain-clouds will deliver
Here in London town all these teardrops tumble down
And no Jamaican sunshine drys the rivers

But now, little Billy Boy's got his record toys
He says: Now listen, can you tell me Mother...?
Why this music here casts away all doubt and fear
And who's that man there on the record cover?

Bob Marley! Bob Marley!
Bob Marley he's the man
The reggae master.

Bob Marley! Bob Marley!
Bob Marley he's the man
The master blaster.

Who's the man
With the flag held high
I'm a say, red-gold-and-green?
Bob Marley!

And who's the man
Says: i-n-i
Not you or them or we
Bob Marley!

Bob Marley! Bob Marley!
Bob Marley he's the man.

Now, children of the world,
Can you tell me have you heard
Of a message from a rastafari...
Preaching: so jah say, peace and unity will stay!
With every sister breden of Bob Marley.

Reggae reggae, rasta rasta!

To all of the people in Namibia
To the soulful people of America
To all of the people in U-ropia
To the beautiful people in South Africa
To all of the people on the Cote D'Ivore
To our sisters and our brothers in Asia
To the sunshine people in Australia
Jah live.


Was?!

Was it just an illusion,
Was it just in my mind?
The tricks all my life I've been using
To see the wrong and the right.

On an' on I keep on believing
On an' on I hear watcha say
Nothing's right, you keep on deceiving
Lying, lie to me every day.

Teardrops, crying, nothing but trouble
Burning bridges along the way
Words you never read in the bible
Killing me again and again.

Declaration: "War is a minor, petty
Crime against watcha say!"
Rescue me, I need an asylum
Help me people, come to my aid.

Footsteps dragging: "Why do you like her?!"
Marchin' through my head every day
Is it true that some people kinda
Get real mad, and then they're insane?!

You told me you love me,
Like nobody else
And now that I'm no longer sure –

Alone in the night with my pride on the shelf
I'm counting the wounds and the scars!


Love Train

I'm a party man, an' I shake ma thang
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 travelling '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 tight.

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.


High Fidelity

High! High! High! High! High! Hiiiiiiiigh!
High, hi-high, hi-high, hi-high.

High fidelity!
Yo stomp it
Yo stomp it, pump it

High fidelity!
Yo stomp it
Yo stomp it, pump it

High fidelity!
Yo stomp it
Yo stomp it, pump it

High fidelity!
Is all i need.

High, hi-high, hi-high, hi fidelity!

I need a girl with a brain
Not insane, understands
What her man would really need.

Please me, won't tease me
Believe me, don't leave me
And always is true until the end!

My DJ, what he say
And he play, won't betray
The sound of the people in the street.

His bass is the ace
In the race and the chase
For the sound of the people in the street.


Chapel Of Love

Cryin', cryin', ho! ha!
Cryin', cryin', ho! ha!

Cryin', cryin', ho! ha!
Cryin', cryin', ho! ha!

Every night I see the little girl
SHe's walking down the aisle
She's wearing shiny pearls.

I hear the people praying,
Bring her back to me
I hear the music playing
And it's haunting me...

Oh, yes I 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.

Cryin', cryin', ho! ha!
Cryin', cryin', ho! ha!

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...


Cherokee

Cherokee, Cherokee nation
Cherokee, Cherokee nation
I'm cryin'

Hey heyah heyah nan na
Hey heyah heyah nan na
Hey heyah heyah nan na
Hey heyah heyah nan na (x2)

Ridin' down the battle-route
Pride and the glory in his boots
He's the man who kills for gold
Loves his wife and prays to god.

Singing: Hey! You, soldier blue
Tell me watch gonna do when the fightin's through
Singing: Hey! You, soldier blue
Why do you hit me, hit me!
Hit me, hit me!
Hit on the borderline...
You hit the

Cherokee, Cherokee nation
Cherokee, Cherokee nation

Hey heyah...

Soldiers ridin' in the sky
All of the colours, you an' I
Only peace will set us free
Kill the beast in you and me.

Every heart you break,
every little kiss you fake
Every move that makes your heart grow cold
Is a rifle in the hand
Of the soldiers who descend,
And they never get enough
Until they you hit ya, hit ya!
Hit ya, hit ya!
Hit on the borderline...

Wade In The Water

B-b-b baby, b-b-b baby, b-b-b, b-b-b
B-b-b baby, b-b-b baby, b-b-b, b-b-b

Wade in the water...
Wade in the water, children!

Wade in the water...
God's gonna trouble the water
God's gonna trouble the water.

See that band all dressed in white!
God's gonna trouble the water

The leader looks like the Israelite!
God's gonna trouble the water.

Wade in the water...

See those children dressed in blue
God's gonna trouble the water

They are the children that Moses brought through!
God's gonna trouble the water.


Hallelujah Hits Pt.II

Ha! Ha! Hallelujah hits are burning
Ha! Ha! Hallelujah hits keep turning.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now..., I'm found
Was blind, but now I see.

Over in the Glory Land!
Jesus took me by the hand
Over in the Glory Land.

Over in the Glory Land!
See that happy angel band
Over in the Glory Land.

Life is simple, life can be good
Get a ticket, if only you would
Movin', groovin' here by my side
Angels party, kickin' the night.

Hail! Hail! Praise the Lord
Our train is leaving, all get aboard
One beat – nation! Hear what I say?!
Life is for livin', take it away,

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
But His soul goes marching on!

Oh, when the Saints!
Go marching in!
Oh, when the Saints go marching in.
Oh, I wanna be in that number,
When the Saints go marching in.

Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?!
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And the days of Old Lang Syne.

For Old Lang Syne, my dear
For Old Lang Syne!
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of Old Lang Syne.


Go Down Moses

There's no real...
There's no real peace
There's no real peace

There's a tiny little stretch of desert land
That's been famous all around the globe
But not for the oriental belly-dance
Or the pipes of peace and hope.
I see the Israelites and a child that cries
And the "Martyrs of the P.L.O."
And an old man by the Wailing Wall
Who's seen it all before...

I said: Peace!
Peace shall come, peace in the Middle East
I said: Peace! Peace shall come
Peace in the Middle East.

Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell ol' pharaoh
Let my people go!

I see rusty tanks and shot down planes
Just south of Lebanon
While mighty river Jordan rolls
Away to Babylon...
So let there be no doubt, we're gonna work it out
Shalom! Over Palestine –
Let the prophets, kings and armies hear
What the people really got in mind.


Joshua Fit He Battle Of Jericho

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho!
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down.

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho!
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down.

Irie is the living in a white bread world
But the cry of mental slavery can't be overheard
Gotta pump it, pump it, pump it
Gotta pump up the bass!
Let the ragga rock an' rumble
Gonna tear down this place

But the papa don't know
And the mama don't know
And the brother, and the sister
And they all don't know.

But the papa don't know
And the mama don't know
They've forgotten long
What they've been fighting for.


Swing Low Sweet Chariot

Swing low
Sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home!

Swing low
Sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home!

I looked over Jordan...
And what did I see?!
Coming for the carry me home!
A mighty band of a
Coming for to carry me home.

Now, sometimes i'm up!
And sometimes I'm down –
Coming for to carry me home!
But then, still my soul
Feels heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me home


Rock My Soul

Rock my soul, rock my soul
Rock, rock, rock my soul –
Rock my soul, rock my soul
Rock, rock, rock my soul,

Rock my soul, in the bosom of Abraham!
Rock my soul, in the bosom of Abraham!
Rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham!
Oh, rock my soul.

Preacher says we're gonna be free
Searching for a new tomorrow
Preacher man is gonna send me,
Building a new tomorrow!

Rock! Rock and roll away all the stones
My soul! Is a little piece of heaven
Rock! Rock and roll away all the stones
My soul! Is a piece of heaven.

Gonna climb the mountain side
Waiting for resurrection!
Way up on the mountain side
Leads me in your direction.

Rock! Rock and roll away all the stones
My soul! Is a little piece of heaven
Rock! Rock and roll away all the stones
My soul! Is a piece of heaven.


Go Tell It On The Mountain

Blessed are the ones who kneel
Devine at the heaven's gate
The ferry man, on Jordan's bank –
A debt we all must pay...

We shuffle off this mortail coil
And perish when we're due
Away, to where all journeys end
He's waiting there for you.

Go tell it on the mountain!
Over the hills and everywhere
Got tell it on the mountain!
That Jesus Christ is born.

A lesson in humility,
On this side of the grave
The holy spirit is your ship
That's pounding through the waves

A prisoner of this pleasure dome
A witness of the greed
The sands are finally running out
And soon we shall be free.
