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.

Stone On The Water Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
So we restored harmony
Smooth the lines on the face
Of an old enemy
But theres no wood on the fire again
We could meet in a place you know where
I know when to go
Skip like a stone on the water
Fall with no trace to lie permanently
Into the valley we roam
Where we fumble around
Until we find our way home
Yet all we have is an old ball of string
Will it reach to the end of this old laborynth
No.
Skip like a stone on the water
Fall with no trace to lie permantly
