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.

Above you, below me Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
Don't wanna give
Don't wanna steer
Don't wanna be anything im not
You take answers
I give questions
Like some rolling monologue
Wanna be the one to say
That today could be the day
A pity to believe in what
You know is what you know
I will take you as you are
Please accept me as i am
Find your lonely life bizzare
Know it's above you know i know it's below me
Always ??
Don't wanna live life in your shoes
I don't feel i know the way
Feeling you, giving me directions i don't need
Up and up and round we go
First it's fast and then we're slow
Could u connect with my interlect
I wont take you as you are
Please don't take me as i am
Find your lonely life bizzare
You'll see this in love
You'll see this in life
For an all year round reception
For a love with no connection
Knowing you, knowing my
Ignorance to more then life
Know it's above you, i know it's below me
I will take you as you are
Please accept me as i am
Find your lonely life bizzare
Know it's above you know i know it's below me
I will take you as you are
Please accept me as i am
There'll be something in the wind
To show us the light and tell us we're wrong
I want to move on
