Smaller

Smaller were an alternative rock band from Liverpool, England, active during the 1990s. They had hits with "Wasted" and "Is" in 1996 and 1997.

History

The band was formed in the early 1990s by former Cook da Books guitarist/singer Peter "Digsy" Deary, his brother Stephen (drums), Jason Riley (guitar/vocals), and Paul Cavanagh (bass guitar). The band's debut release was the single "God I Hate This Town" in 1995. They recorded a session for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show in November that year. A second single failed to chart, but they broke into the UK top 75 with "Wasted" in September 1996. Their next single, "Is", which featured Noel Gallagher on guitar, gave them their biggest hit, reaching number 55 in the UK in March 1997. The band's debut album, Badly Badly, was released in April 1997, featuring further contributions from Gallagher. A second album was recorded, featuring a guest appearance from Richard Hawley, but it remained unreleased, and the band split up.

The band's lyrical themes included relationships, financial problems, and Digsy's experiences with drugs.

I don't know you anymore
Twice the man you were before
Your sadness ever growing
Ever flowing tears all knowing
And it seems I'm getting smaller
Every day I feel minute
Or is it you who's growing taller
And the world just follow suite
I'm afraid of what you'll do
You've discovered something new
And it seems I can't compete
I stand my ground but it's effete
And it seems I'm getting smaller
Every day I feel minute
Or is it you who's growing taller
