Sleeper were never a massive band compared to some others but they delivered 3 excellent albums. They have reformed after 20 years and their new and album landed at number 18 a few weeks ago. Here is the full video from their fantastic gig at the Forum a few weeks back. It was f***ing fabulous.
i'm gonna reminisce a lil bit, all delivered eulogistically
oh manchy, you ole bird of the gutters. look at ya. what has become of ya in the meantime? lookin like somehting from the glossy brochure. is it still the anger drivin you forwards, or backwards, maybe?
you made me feel at home when i thought there was none for me, back then in the 20th century, when i was tiptoeing through the world, blissfully unaware. do you still remember? do you still exist?
i inhaled your exhaust fumes, i drank your stale beer with the lads from union street, in the early afternoon, when everyone else pretended to be busy.
"oh, look at 'im, 'ee loves smellin 'is cock!", the old beggar cat-called at the young businessman rushing by who still was able to feel some embarrassment.
i loved your warehouses, manchy, "why dont you buy one then?", the pale mancunian scolded me indignantly. embarrassment at every turn.

a giant red brick coffin waitin for the blown-up giant to touch the sky and then lie down. you showed me my future in your past.
your future was my past, in one way or the other, like watching disney films on television
in a prison cell / next photo, please...

i always drew a lot of energy from your canals, for whatever reason. they were embedded in history, like the roman roads traversing the heath in a thomas hardy novel.
your bridges embodied protection, where none was to be found elsewhere.

i inserted your landscape into mine and left you forever internally modified.
