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.

Gunning For The President Lyrics

GBH

Heard him on the radio, seen him on tv,
watched his movies he didn't impress me.
He's in the Whitehouse, i'm in the doledrums,
someone's gotta get him, before his time comes.
I'm no waster, my times well spent,
gunning for the president.
I'm on a mission, gone hell bent,
gunning for the president.
As president of the United States,
he's got some trouble, with his enlarged prostate.
Disease up the nose, disease up the ass,
he knows the secret, Irangate cash.
I'm the one guy,
who just couldn't take it anymore.
I've seen more class, in a two bit whore.
Made your name in the world of let's pretend,
and if its up to you,
