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.

Pissing In The Wind Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
Ive been pissing in the wind
I chance a foolish grin
And dribbled on my chin
Now the ground shifts beneath my feet
The faces that I greet never know my name
Just give me something
Ill take nothing
Just give me something
Ill take nothing
Now the drought is crippled by the rain
That hammers on my pain
We lose ourselves again
But all we need
Is to fid a place to look
Our worm is on the hook
A love which dangles free
Lets watch it swim
Against the waters flow
In doubt the courage grows
With no guarantee
And so it goes
The moral to this tale
As tortoise catches the snail
A strong heart will prevail
It keeps on pumping
It still needs something
Just give me something
Ill take nothing
Just give it something
To keep it pumping
And Ill take nothing
Just give me something
