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.

Skidding Out Of Control Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
Now you and me, were skidding out of control
Its like I dont wanna believe this time we might be losing our souls
Weve got to slam on our coaster brakes
And pick our brains from the road
Its time the heat killed the cold
Now youve got me feeling rough
When I just wanna be smooth
You can get back up to heaven, but Ive got nothing to prove
Youve gotta just keep this tyre and this groove
And you me, were skidding out of control
Its like I dont wanna believe this time we might be losing our souls
Weve got to slam on our coaster brakes
And pick our brains from the road
Its time the heat killed the cold
...
Now forget about the troubles, and forget about the cost
Were gonna take this ... of wheels and rev it up just one more time
Now its funny to remember how I used to need it all
Now I know this power dream machine is never gonna stall
This super flying motorcycles gonna take it straight through the wall
And well recover it all
Yeah you and me, were skidding out of control
Its like I dont wanna believe this time we might be losing our souls
Weve got to slam on our coaster brakes
And pick our brains from the road
Its time the heat killed the cold
