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.

Don't Ask Me I'm Only The President Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
There's a movie
Normally I'd call that a film
But it moved me
And that didn't rhyme with film
See this film, it only had one scene
My recollection fades
It may just have been a dream
There was a dragon teaching women to breathe fire
A long line of men being made to walk across this high wire
If they fell off to their deaths, they'd be martyred on the spot
If they made it to the other side, someone shook their hand and they were shot
Isn't that just the way it's always been
I say all men are equal
No man should be king
Or play God, define sin, or watch Hollyoaks
Big Brother needs to end
Let's hope this one's the last
