Charged GBH embarked on several English and mainland US tours during the early 1980s , including several gigs at the 100 Club . 1982 saw the release of GBH 's first LP , '' City Baby Attacked by Rats '' , which reached number 17 in the UK charts , as well as Number 2 in the respected UK Indie charts . The band ’s singles had also reached the UK Indie charts , leading to a memorable appearance on legendary UK TV programme '' The Tube '' , where they performed " Give Me Fire " ( UK Indie chart no 2 ) . Lyrically , the album dealt with criticism of British and European culture , violence , morbidity ( especially in reference to the song " Passenger on the Menu " , which describes in graphic detail the experiences of the passengers on the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 ) , atheism , nihilism and humour . Musically , the album was loud and fast , with few songs exceeding three minutes . The success of the first album was repeated with their second LP , '' City Babys Revenge '' , in 1983 and saw more extensive touring in America and Europe and higher profile UK shows , including the Carlisle Punk festival . With the Carlisle Punk festival the band co-headlined with fellow UK82 stalwarts The Exploited , and shared the bill with the likes of Toy Dolls , Chelsea , and The Destructors . In 1984 , the band dropped the " Charged " from their name and became just GBH ( grievous bodily harm ) . Throughout their recording history , the band has often included a cover version on many of their albums . Boston Babies - Slaughter and The Dogs ( City Baby Attacked By Rats ) , I Feel Alright - The Damned / The Stooges ( City Baby 's Revenge ) , Avenues and Alleyways - Tony Christie ( No Need To Panic ) , Needle In A Haystack - The Velvelettes ( A Fridge Too Far ) , Destroy - The Vibrators ( From Here To Reality ) , I Need Energy - Zero Boys ( Church of the Truly Warped )
