Badly Drawn Boy is Damon Gough, born October 2, 1969 in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, although the family moved 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.

40 DAYS & 40 FIGHTS - Badly Drawn Boy
GEm You look a lot, lot better tonight EmG You and I should go out for a fight GEm We need a holiday But not today, another day
GEm You need eyes in the front of your head EmG And a spine with a built in bed GEm I don't want anybody else to know Em So I wont be telling them F#GB7C7 I love you, for all the things you do F7GEm But I can't even recall your name Em Something beautiful about it though
Well good luck to your lady tonight I took a piece of her heart, well not quite She stole a piece of mine Chewed it up and threw it back I need help to get over pain But the memories still remain I loved her friendly eyes The way they looked at each other It moves me to tears, like a horror film And I don't even recall her name There's something beautiful about it though
Now there's a good, good feeling tonight Just a feeling that something is right We can minimalise the pain Forget that is was ever there
Look at all the possibles Throw answers out to the world Its hard, its hard, its hard Its hard, its hard, its hard Its hard when you don't know how But I'll be here to throw you some clues Don't even have to know your name Something beautiful about it though Forty days and forty fights Forty days and forty fights
