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.

Company Of Wolves Lyrics

GBH

We gotta' raise some money for our children,
so when they're old they don't have to fear.
Scratch their back, they'll stab yours,
it's obvious boy, it's crystal clear.
We ain't got much all we got is,
the company of wolves.
They'll approach you, try to coax you,
make you sell your soul.
The company of wolves,
the company of wolves.
Get out of their den, start again,
they ain't nothing but fools.
We get tangled in the web of hate,
from our piggy bank's straight back to the fat guy.
Turn the tables, throw a rock and roll him,
tell him reach for the sky.
We got nothin' on our table,
nothing on our plate just dirt on the floor.
We listen hard for an answer,
but only hear the wolf at the door.
