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.

Disillusion Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
Seems you created your own illusion
Fuelled by an image of me
Well I couldnt stay at your side
It wouldnt be right
A picture that I just dont see
Why do you have to make it so complicated
Cant it just be beautiful
I dont want to stifle your flight
I didnt mean to fall in love
Always in pursuit of the perfect people
Oh and I can see that it shows
But theres just an innocence in you I wanna wring out
I know it could be beautiful
But I dont want a part of some situation
I dont want to be in that boat
I dont want to stifle your flight
I didnt mean to fall in love
Seems you created your own illusion
Fuelled by an image of me
Well I couldnt stay at your side
It wouldnt be right
A picture that I just dont see
