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.

Pure Greed Lyrics

GBH

You've got a fast brain,
it's like a bullet train.
You've been branded,
LINE TO BE ADDED !
Your scream's like gasoline,
it burned me to the core.
You used to stand for something,
but not any more.
And when I turned to you,
in my hour of need.
I looked into your eyes,
and saw the pure greed.
Yeah when I turned to you,
on my bended knees.
I looked into your eyes,
and they shone a pure green.
Domino skyscrapers and thunder,
not just another face, just another number.
Domino skyscrapers and thunder,
not just another face, just another number.
You've got a big life,
but I heard that it's broken.
Now I'm gonna' sit and laugh,
until my eyes are soakin'.
