Sleeper recorded three studio albums: Smart, The It Girl and Pleased to Meet You. Their breakthrough song, "Inbetweener", featured a memorable video with Dale Winton, who was a popular icon among students at the time. The group is closely associated with Britpop; Wener was arguably, along with Elastica's Justine Frischmann, the movement's biggest female star. She was even something of a sex symbol. By the time Pleased to Meet You was released in 1997, Britpop was fading, as was the band's audience.

Because Of You Lyrics

Sleeper

Because of you
I fall asleep for hours
Were made of glue
Our bodies crushed and tired
I lie and lie
And now a most peculiar
Wave arrives
How it breaks my guard
Waits for me
While we slide apart
I know youre
Taking me nowhere
And now theres
Nothing else to say
I never was a fan
Of the winter
So youll understand
If I dont stay
Were sick today
Turns out were only hiding
Got clean away
So nothing clever finds us
We lie and lie
And all this mess we never talk about
Gathers dust and doubt
Somebody take the rubbish out
And on what flavour day
Did you scramble away
Was I lost
Or tired or sleeping
Didnt I look too great
Was it moments too late
When you noticed
Your mistake
Everyday I know youre
Taking me nowhere
And now theres
Nothing else I can say
I never was a fan
Of the winter
So youll understand
If I dont stay
I never was a fan of the winter time
So youll forgive me if I dont stay
