Music Lyrics Resources
Below are listed quite a few of the more extensive music lyrics, song lyrics Web sites and resources.
Where else to look:
- Be sure to also check with music artists' Web sites, song writers' Web sites, as increasingly more of them are providing lyrics to their music, songs, and recordings. (A search engine search with the artist's name, song title, or even just a few words of the lyrics will often pop up just what you need.)
- If you still don't find what you're looking for, please check with the Music Lyrics newsgroup (alt.music.lyrics) or the alt.music.lyrics Volunteers for the lyrics or further possibilites.
Although I can't respond to inquiries about where to find music lyrics, I welcome and encourage comments, suggestions, graphics, or Web site ideas, so please let me know.
