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.

Crush 'em Lyrics

GBH

Send in the goon sqaud
It's getting out of hand
They're marching all over
Our Promised land
They've got dogs on bits of rope
And bits of rope for hair
I've seen them on the corner
Drinking flat cider
They're raved out right on fortunate sons
a hooligan element spoils it for the genious ones
You've gotta Crush Em, Crush Em, Crush Em like ants,
You've gotta crush em like ants
So wheres your home now
And wheres your pride
You've liberated nothing
But we're still on your side
David meets goliath
For another round
Black flags are flying
Theres bodies on the ground
They're raved out right on fortunate sons
a hooligan element spoils it for the genious ones
You've gotta Crush Em, Crush Em, Crush Em like ants,
You've gotta crush em like ants
Drinking from the poison pool
Divide and conquer divide and rule
The acid rain it may be stinging
But I dont hear no fat lady singing
Sitting in the road now
You're swinging from the trees
Harassing bastards hunting foxes
Saving birds and bees
If your life is boring
Give it a second chance
Work is a four letter word
So give it up and dance
They're raved out right on fortunate sons
a hooligan element spoils it for the genious ones
You've gotta Crush Em, Crush Em, Crush Em like ants,
You've gotta crush em like ants
