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.

See You Bleed Lyrics

GBH

You were there, when I needed a place to crash,
I had no money, you gave me all your cash.
You're my burning sun in my darkest hour,
you're the problems I can't solve.
Soaking up all your radiation, it's around you I revolve.
You cleanse my soul when you mop my brow.
Your sweet flesh is what I need ..
I cut myself and see you bleed.
For your love I have a greed,
I cut myself and see you bleed (on the razors edge).
It's dark and I'm desperate, I'm broke and I'm hungry.
It's cold and I'm freezing, It's hot and I'm sweating.
You don't get pity in a cut throat world,
go and live in the city and find yourself a girl.
Make sure she's pretty and you like her curves,
but you don't pity in a cut throat world.
You've picked me up every time I've fallen down,
mended my bones when they've cracked .. without a sound.
You balance my scales when they start to tip, if the level ever drops.
Filling my head with point blank advice,
pulling me back on top.
