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 ↴

Non stop chaos and dirty tricks
It's front page news the way you get your fix
Never say no always say yes
'Cos nothing exceeds like excess

You can have it all
Catch me when I fall

One more
One more
Let's even the score
You said before
Never gonna stop 'till you get some more

Good times high times taking a ride
All dressed up with nowhere to hide
It's now or never can't wait forever
Breaking on through to the other side

You can have it all
Catch me when I fall

One more
One more
Let's even the score
You said before
Never gonna stop 'till you get some more

Feed me another shot of poison
Feed me another dirty line
Communication breakdown
It seemed like a good idea at the time

One more
One more
Let's even the score

You said before
Never gonna stop 'till you get some more

The chorus repeats the phrase "one more," indicating a desire to keep going even when they probably should stop. The references to being "all dressed up with nowhere to hide" and "breaking on through to the other side" suggest a rebellious attitude and a desire to live on the edge.

It's clear that the character is not only addicted to the lifestyle but also to the substances and experiences that come with it. Overall, the song paints a picture of someone who is living fast and dangerously, unable or unwilling to slow down and break the cycle.
