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.

Factor 41 Lyrics

Sleeper

Two ferries collide and youll be the one
Standing on the dock reading papers in the sun
The ice age arrives youll keep me warm
Falling at your feet with no feelings of my own
What do I do with you lately
What can I do with you lately
Two robbers arrive big guys with guns
Youll be the one looking backwards as we run
Crusaders come by fat guys who sing
Youll be the one not believing anything
What do I do for you lately
What can I do for you
Im not afraid of you youre very nice in fact
Now give me all your cigarettes
These little love attacks
Are making me feel queasy
Cant get my heart rate down
Two missionaries come with conversion kits
Youll be the one sewing cotton through their lips
We wear out the sun youll be the one
Lying on the roof wearing factor 41
Im not afraid of you youre very nice
In fact youve got it all youre very tall
Im totally impressed cant get my heart rate down
Im not afraid of you youre very nice
In fact youve got it all but Im bored
Of being sycophantic
So get your knickers down
