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.

It Came From The Ground Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
I hear your sound from the ground
And it feels so good
I see the lights fading
Lets gather the rain
Inside your hood
Now I hear shes got the fever
Oh and I need her, I knew I would
Now I see your stalling
Catch me Im falling underground
Now I sense the ground is moving
Yet something is proving me wrong I find
I see the colour changing
To follow the range inside your mind
Ive tried to please her, maybe Ill weave her a lullaby
The fallen trees are not yet in season
But underground
A giant grain of sand could
Slip through your hand
And you wouldnt know
You fly away, Im sailing
My heart would be failing without this glow
I wonder if youve seen me
With infinite greenery all around
If I could here you calling
Id break down the walls that defend her sound
