Kelly Johnson and Denise Dufort later joined and in April 1978 they changed their name to Girlschool.
Their first single Take it all away was released on the City Records label which led to them gaining a Motörhead support slot on the Overkill tour in 1979.
Having signed with Lemmy´s record company Bronze later that year, the band released their first album Demolition in 1980.
After touring Japan in 1982, Enid left and was replaced by Gil Weston of The Killjoys and Girlschool recorded their third album Screaming Blue Murder.
When Kelly left to live in L.A. she was replaced by Cris Bonacci on lead guitar and singer Jackie Bodimead on lead vocals for the 1985 album Running Wild.
After many more line-up changes and releases on various labels, the original bassist/vocalist Enid rejoined the band in 2000, together with Jackie Chambers. In 2002 the band released the 21st Anniversary: Not that Innocent album.
Their 12th and latest output is the re-recorded Hit and Run: Revisited. Girlschool continued to tour Europe and South America in 2011-12 and returned in Japan in 2013. In early 2015, they recorded a new album titled 'Guilty as Sin' with producer Chris Tsangarides, which was released on 13 November 2015. On 30 January 2019, it was announced on the band's website that "Girlschool have parted ways once again with bassist Enid Williams" and that Tracey Lamb would return to replace her.
In 2023, Girlschool, now consisting of Kim McAuliffe on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Denise Dufort on drums, Tracey Lamb on bass and Jackie Chambers on lead guitar have unveiled a video for their new single “Are You Ready?” from their upcoming studio album WTFortyfive?, which will be released on July 28, 2023.

Girlschool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coming Your Way
Coming Your Way
Coming Your Way
When flame burns like a furnace (Burning)
And the fire starts to spread
Now if it's to hot to handle (Burning)
Because Were Coming!
Were Coming!
Again!
No ya can't hold the back the passion (Burning)
Or the power to excite
When wheels are set in motion (Turning)
Ride along and hold on tight
Because Were Coming!
Were Coming!
Again!
Cause Were Coming
Were Coming...
All night long we're gonna party on
We're gonna show you how to do it.
So come along ya gotta have some fun
We're gonna take you to the limit.
When you feel the juices flowing (Yeah)
Then it's time to take a bite
You see the embers going (Burning)
Gonna set the world a light
Because Were Coming!
Were Coming!
All night long we're gonna party on
We're gonna show you how to do it.
So come along ya gotta have some fun
We're gonna take you to the limit.
All night long we're gonna party on
We're gonna show you how to do it.
So come along ya gotta have some fun
We're gonna take you to the limit.
The song 'Coming Your Way' by Girlschoool is bursting with energy and excitement. The lyrics speak of the uncontrollable desire to let loose and have fun, and the driving rhythm of the music perfectly captures this sentiment. The song is an invitation to join in on the festivities and let the music take over. The repeated chorus of "We're Coming Your Way" is a call to action, urging the listener to join in on the excitement.
The first verse talks about the fiery passion that is burning inside and the need to feed it. The metaphorical use of "flame" conveys an almost dangerous level of excitement, and the urgency to give in to it is palpable. The lyrics suggest that holding back this passion is impossible, and that one must give into it and let it consume them. The second verse talks about the power of the music to excite and get things moving. The wheels are set in motion, and the listener is encouraged to hold on tight and ride along. The chorus repeats the refrain of "We're Coming Your Way" and hammers in the message that the party is happening and you don't want to miss out.
The bridge is a rallying cry, encouraging everyone to come together and have fun. The aggression of the opening verse has given way to a more positive message of unity, and the repetition of "All night long we're gonna party on" reinforces the idea that the party is never-ending. The ultimate goal is to take the listener to the limit, to push them to let go of their inhibitions and fully embrace the moment.
Overall, 'Coming Your Way' is a song about letting loose, having fun, and being swept up in the energy of the music. Its driving rhythm and catchy chorus make it a perfect anthem for anyone looking to shed their worries and embrace the moment.
