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.

Please Please Please Lyrics

Sleeper

Going straight has never been easy
Close my eyes dont look to the left or right
When it hurts you know its the price
You cant make it
Everyday I hide from the sunlight
Anyway I got near it on twice
Maybe I have never been brave
Yes I want to
Please please please
Youve got to find a place of your own
Before they carve your name on a stone
Youve got to lift yourself up from the ground
And its a strange world dragging you down
Please please please
All belief the reason escapes me
Letting go cant make you feel any worse
All my life I know I was cursed
You cant break it
Please please please
You know its hard for you mother and me
You know its not what we wanted to be
Youve got to lift me up to the sky
Theres only seconds left till we die
You know its not what we wanted to be
You know its hard for your mother and me
And its a strange world dragging you down
Youve got to lift me up off the ground
