Have you ever listened to a song on the radio and noticed
that you spend more time trying to figure out the words than
listening to the music? Or maybe you just want your desktop
MP3 player to scroll a song's lyrics while the track plays.
Before you spend countless hours trying to decipher garbled
lyrics, turn to the Web.
Use your favorite search engine
Most search engines will allow you to do a song
title-specific lyric search. Type in the song name in the
search box. Add "+lyrics" to the end of your search terms
(without a space or quotes) and perform your search. Best of
all, your top results are often from an artist's own site.
Lyric sites and search engines
Hundreds of sites dedicated to compiling song lyrics
allow you to search by title, artist, or both:
