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.

Sale Of The Century Lyrics

Sleeper

We step through london the streets holding onto us
We stand where the river bends I hope we fall in
This time maybe lets take a photograph
Well burn all the negatives I hope we fall in
Its never going to be this good so just climb in
How long till reason makes us small again
It feels just like weve just got started
Its still you taking me up there
Pretend to be scared then decided that we dont care
Wear ourselves out on the way down
Its still you and the moment you met me
You thought I was cheap you were the sale of the century
Creased ourselves up on the way down
Now I touch you dont know where you begin
Sometimes youre a piece of me I hope we fall in
Its been too long so it cant just be something we ate
I knew wed go far cos we both share the people we hate
It feels just like we just got started
