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.

Motorway Man Lyrics

Sleeper

Met a man
A motorway man
Met a man
He really makes me wonder
Slow faced worn and weary
One race left and then
Fall over
And I see him every single day
And I see him everywhere driving
Past me sunlight
On the bonnet so bright
Everyone is cracking
Slow face on the shoulder
Still straight but everything is lacking
Floating in and fading out
It seems anyway he waves at me
Through the sunbeams
Met a man
A motorway man
Met a man
He really drags me under
Sixteen miles an hour
Sixteen miles an hour
Baby do you laugh at me
I think you do and you know
That all of us are right behind you
And now I want to go home
But its too late
How much further to go
Before the home
Straight wave me by and gently sigh
A smile just starts to break
Youve got a funny face
