Badly Drawn Boyis an independent singer-songwriter, born Damon Gough October 2, 1969 in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, although the family returned to Bolton, Lancashire before Gough reached the age of one. Gough chose his stage name from a character that appeared in the cartoon show "Sam And His Magic Ball" which he saw on TV at a party in Trafford, Manchester in 1995. Before he thought of using this name he made some 'business cards', each one unique, with a printed picture of a drawing by his nephew, and a small collage by Gough. This was then laminated and given out to friends and people at clubs in Blackburn and Manchester. His 2000 album The Hour of Bewilderbeastwon a prestigious Mercury Prize.

40 Days, 40 Fights Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
You look a lot, lot better tonight
You and I should go out for a fight
We need a holiday
But not today, another day
You need eyes in the front of your head
And a spine with a built in bed
I dont want anybody else to know
So I wont be telling them
I love you, for all the things you do
But I cant even recall your name
Something beautiful about it though
Well good luck to your lady tonight
I took a piece of her heart, well not quite
She stole a piece of mine
Chewed it up and threw it back
I need help to get over pain
But the memories still remain
I loved her friendly eyes
The way they looked at each other
It moves me to tears, like a horror film
And I dont even recall her name
Theres something beautiful about it though
Now theres a good, good feeling tonight
Just a feeling that something is right
We can minimalise the pain
Forget that is was ever there
Look at all the possibles
Throw answers out to the world
Its hard, its hard, its hard
Its hard, its hard, its hard
Its hard when you dont know how
But Ill be here to throw you some clues
Dont even have to know your name
Something beautiful about it though
Forty days and forty fights
Forty days and forty fights
