See You Bleed
G.B.H. · A Fridge Too Far [1989]
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.
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.
See You Bleed
G.B.H.'s "See You Bleed" stands as a defining track from their 1989 debut album, A Fridge Too Far. Emerging from the heart of the UK punk and post-punk revival, the song encapsulates the band's signature blend of raw energy and melodic sensibility. With its driving rhythm and vocal delivery, the recording captures the restless spirit of the late eighties scene. The track remains a staple of their discography, often cited alongside other key releases like Race Against Time: Clay Years as a testament to their enduring influence on the genre. It serves as a powerful example of how G.B.H. translated the urgency of their era into a cohesive and memorable body of work.
