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.

Bottle of Tears Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
Dont back down when your giving be treats
You know that now that I found it
You know that I need it
Dont back me up you say nothing at all
If I was two feet taller
Id be over the wall
Dont start thinking that Im too needy
I could give you love for nothing
Theres nothing for me
Were like arabian nights
When the sun goes down
But tell me in the day
You dont want me around
Hold me now cause Im gonna try
If you dont pour salt water into my eye
Weve got a bottle of tears locked up inside
Maybe youll laugh but the laughs all mine
Hope now baby its not getting better
As your hopes stay slipping around in the rain
Dont start pulling around at the sheets
When Ive got oodles of love growing into me
Weve got a bottle of tears locked up inside
Maybe youll laugh but the laughs all mine
Maybe youll laugh but the laughs all mine
