Unknown to the band at the time the name was chosen, GBH is derived from the British legal phrase, Grievous bodily harm. Another band was using the name, so they added Charged onto GBH. It began with Colin (Col) Abrahall on vocals, Colin (Jock) Blyth on guitar, Ross Lomas on bass, as well as their first drummer Andrew Williams. The band mostly toured in England during the 1980s, however they did make several excursions out of the island, including several tours to the United States. Some of their most famous shows that they played during the 1980s were at the 100 Club in Oxford Street in London.

All For The Cause Lyrics

GBH

We've travelled your six lane highways,
and still arrived late.
Then saw a cockroach dancing,
upon our deli plate.
I've drank your wicked potions,
ended up on the floor.
Yes we did all those things - all for the cause.
We never stopped there's nothing new - All for the cause.
I smoke the pipe of peace with you - All for the cause.
Sampled things 'till I went blue - All for the cause.
There ain't no doubt what we're about - We're all for the cause.
I've slept on beds of concrete,
showered in streams of ice.
Watched your scratchy TV's,
and fully paid the price.
We've broken none of your windows,
but kicked down all the doors.
Yes we did all those things - All for the cause.
We're practised in the art of suffering,
never happy without the real thing.
Your hate cuts like a knife,
this is no lifestyle, this is out life.
Taken all your hypocrisy,
when you shout and scream.
Your getting grey and growing old,
I'm still living my teenage dream.
We scraped by with honesty,
you've flouted all the laws.
Yes we did all those things - All for the cause.
