    These are a few of songs that had extensive airplay on Phantom FM round about 1999 - 2000. (Don't know if they still do, I've been out of touch with Phantom for a while). Some of the lyrics are really hard to decipher, so you'll have to forgive me if I only give you a snippet here and there. For most of the others, I've taken the lyrics from the 'chorus'.

    I can't vouch for the accuracy of the lyrics or even whether all of the artists are Irish....But, still, if people could make a stab at artist, song and album, I'd greatly appreciate it


    1. (Female Vocal)

    "I say hello to all the junkies; all the sinners and the creeps
    I say hello to all the people in this place
    I say hello to all the drunkheads; all the prostitutes and freaks
    I say hello to all the people in the world"


    2. (Male, slow rap vocal, except for chorus which is female vocals)

    " Look here brother, who you jiving with that Cosmic debris
    Look here brother, don't you waste your time on me"


    3. (Male vocal)

    "You know I really tried
    I've been a pillar of strength at your side
    You're a fundamentally lovable creature
    But you've got defects in your design"


    4. (male vocal, slow, acoustic(ish) - I think it may be the Revenants but I'm not sure)

    "I know it's getting early; maybe it's getting late
    Lean a little closer to me; till you sleep away"


    5. Okay this is a hard one to describe. It's a male vocal. The songs just under 5 minutes long. The singer sings in this falsetto (I don't think it's Radiohead). There a four 4 line verses, no chorus. The start of each line is either a ling drawn out "Iiiiiiiiiiiiii" or "Ooooooooooo". The second half of the song is all instrumental - crunching guitars and drums. Here are jsut a few lines I think I managed to get out. Again, can't vouch for the accuracy.

    "Picking apples from a tree
    Iiiiiiiii want an airplane
    Iiiiiii want to escape from the rain"


    Thanx in advance for all the help.
