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.

One Plus One Is One Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
Back to being who I was before
Opened all the doors you tried to close
And how did that make me feel
I cracked the ceiling I stared at it too long
Tried to right the wrongs
Reverse the flow Now everybody's waiting outside
Trying to feel what's going on inside
Tried to turn the tide and we failed
As the past meets the future
It gets clearer that it all boils down to love and peace
Give me some peace Please give me some peace
Why can't you see that one plus one is one
Much greater then the sum of the parts
And nobody's waiting outside
I felt deceived I hid behind the sun
Its time to take the gun out of life
Every scene is like the one before
Its time to close the doors on myself
As the past becomes the future
It gets clearer that it still boils down to love and peace
Give me some peace
Please give me some peace
Back to being who I was before
Open up your door, hold me now
Give me some peace, hold me now
Give me some peace, hold me now
While everybody's waiting outside
