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.

Lie Detector Lyrics

Sleeper

Shes a movie star arrangement
Got a touch of bergman to her face
She wears suits and buys him flowers
Smokes his cigarettes and bakes him cakes
He says uh oh I love you
But Im not sure I trust you
You seem strange to me
Shes got green eyes and shes lovely
Reminds me of the it girl with her lips
Got an automatic license
Reads all dostoievskys household tips
He says uh oh I love you
But Im not sure I trust you
You seem strange to me
How come everyone suspects her
Attach her to a lie detector
Watch a thousand housewives fizz and burn
And every time she answers yes
The needles on his polygraph test
Just go round in circles like his brain
Shes got long hair but shes ugly
Got a touch of einstein to her brain
She wears fat clothes but shes cunning
People say shes easy all the same
He says uh oh I love you
But Im not sure I trust you
You seem strange to me
It took a thousand cliches just to scold her
Took a man from stepford and a tape recorder
Got his ego broken so crestfallen
You made a start you made us laugh
Stop it youre a grown man baby
Its just that your heads no good
