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.

Do What You Do Lyrics

GBH

Take a look at yourself from the other side, and see if it's really you.
The reason for life is living, so do what you gotta do.
Catch the fire of inspiration, seek and you shall find.
Go on down your own path, don't follow things so blind.
Do what you do (but know why you're doing it).
Do what you do for fun.
Do what you do (but know why you're doing it).
You're the only one.
Trash and truth are easily mixed, split them with your axe.
Burning ambitions fizzle out, don't listen to the facts.
They've got power in supply, overload and fuse it.
Don't sit at home vegetating ..
you've got a brain so use it.
Apathy is on the increase, problems are easily shared.
Freedom's on the horizon, but I didn't know you cared.
Plant the seed of hope and promise, feed it, it will grow.
Question all the answers, rock the Status Quo.
