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.

Distant Town Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
Distant love you left for distant town
Only need to whisper please dont shout
Plant the seed let seed of love grow
Floating down the stream against the flow
Fate please show me to the edge of town
Dont blast me to the moon Ill still come down
Distant love I dont know where to start
Shadowed by the blister on your heart
All I need is perfect timing
To dodge these tumbleweeds around me
Listen to my senseless rhyming
Your scent is all I need
It makes me sneeze
This is how you find me
Just listen when I sneeze
Your scent is all I need
Ill catch it on the breeze
Just listen when I sneeze
Your scent is all I need
This is how you find me
It think were getting close
I see the flies around you
