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.

My Name's Not Down Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
Do do do do do
It's a new melody and its coming your way soon
You'll get it for free right after this next word
Nobody frees their mind anymore.
No one can read my mind anymore.
Do do do
It's a figure of speech and a play on words
Life is a beach but never the less true
Nobody leaves me cold anymore,
But everybody leaves me wanting the core
Name isnt down but im still coming in
Just give me some space
I can give you songs to straighten your face
Not just some b-side shit
That nobody listens to anymore
'Cause everybody takes no time anymore
Do do do
It's a falling from grace, and a miracle that im staying the pace
And still selling seats to shows
That nobody wants to see anymore
Everybody wants to get free on the door
My name isnt down but im still coming in
Name isnt down but im still coming in
