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.

Sha La La Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
( Live Glastonbury 2002 )
Everybody needs a place to live,
Everybody needs a friend,
I've been trying to find a place where maybe we could find some friends,
You know, I know, since we're together we've been moving in similar lines,
Conversation is a killer and maybe it's a friend sometimes,
Sha la la la la la la x 3
La la
Now I don't really need to be decided,
I can bide my time,
Slick sugar sweet candy beats and then some words that rhyme
We seek to keep together, by keeping loving, living apart,
With no mention of a future, hell you could be getting my leap ins???
Sha la la la la la la x 3
La la
Everybody needs a place to live,
Everybody needs a home and a friend,
So I've been trying to find a place where maybe we could find some friends,
You know, I know, since we're together we've been moving in similar lines,
A conversation is a killer and maybe it's a friend,
Sha la la la la la la x 3
La la
