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.

Chance For Living Lyrics

GBH

All the girls wanna' look so pretty,
all the boys wanna' be so cute.
With the holes in their jeans,
say they wanna' learn to shoot.
You don't need no judge and jury,
just vibrate to the sound of fury.
You only get only get one chance for living,
you get too many times to die.
Choose your medicine wisely now,
once you get up, just stay high.
All the haves ignore the have-nots,
those with can't see without.
Where reality is King, and you know the fault,
it can house a volcano of doubt.
Everyone's always talking,
and no-one seems to be giving.
Well the sowing of the seed, should compensate,
for suffering the pain of living.
