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.

Good Luck Mr Gorsky Lyrics

Sleeper

Rides his bike on a tarmac causeway
Makes him ten feet tall and drives him anywhere
Dreams of rockets and home run heroes
Takes the brakes off on the big hills for a dare
Oh when its dark here
Theres a voice that will always call you in
But you dont care
You still sleep without thinking
Best of luck mr gorsky all the worlds waiting for you
Theres a clock on the wall
And it ticks when youre small
Counting for you
Good luck mr gorsky all the worlds waiting for you
Theres a plaque on the wall
That your wife won at school
Cleans it for you
Making holes in the tall white fences
And a hundred curtains flicker as you pass
Think that man must be ninety seven
Built a telescope he focused on the stars
Models in boxes never look like the pictures on the front
But thats o k
They still fly on elastic
