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.

Another Devil Dies Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
Well your face still makes my day
Just like it did in the past
When you turned me away
I kept coming back for more
That's a choice I chose
You were so distant
But I stayed close
It feels like we've weathered the storm
Without having the privilege of calm
And when we sing
I hear another devil dies
When that bell rings
An angel gets its wings
And if I pushed
Would you all fall down?
Coz I don't need this on my back
The hatred will tear us apart
If you don't do what you did at the start
Should I go or will you stay
We'll find a plan of attack
There's a price to pay
For showing no reaction
To all the simple things
In time you will know what I know
But for now you win
The hatred will tear us apart
Another devil will take out your heart
But when we sing
I hear another devil dies
When that bell rings
An angel gets its wings
And if I pushed
Would you all fall down
Coz I don't need this on my back
It seems like we've weathered the storm
Without having the privilege of calm
