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.

The Shining Lyrics
Badly Drawn Boy
Faith pours from your walls, drowning your calls
Ive tried to hear, youre not near
Remembering when I saw your face
Shining my way, pure timing
Now Ive fallen in deep, slow silent sleep
Its killing me, Im dying
To put a bit of sunshine in your life
Soliel all over you, warm sun pours over me
Soliel all over you
Warm sun
Now this slick fallen rift came like a gift
Your body moves ever nearer
And you will dry this tear
Now that were here, and greave for me, not history
But now Im dry of thoughts, wait for the rain
Then its replaced, sun setting
And suddenly were in love with everything
Soliel all over you, warm sun pours over me
Soliel all over you
Warm sun
