Is there no mega-database of song lyrics on the Web that allow people to put in a few words and find the title?
Sure there is. Just about any search engine will do this, but my favorite is Alta Vista. The trick is to find several consecutive words and put them in quotes so that the engine will only look for that exact phrase. If you can find two different phrases from different parts of the song that will narrow it down even better. And make sure to avoid any words which have varied or slang spellings such as “yeah” or “gotcha”.
Any specific lyrics you’d like us to help you find?
The International Lyrics Server (http://www.lyrics.ch) is another old standby resource.
because of copyright laws, you won’t find a lot of lyrics on legal databases. lyrics.ch was down for a bit last year because of it. if you know the title, but don’t know the artist, go to http://www.allmusic.com and search on title. this site also pretty good in general, although don’t trust it with your life–there are errors. no lyrics there though. but like Keeve said, just do a search. either do a search with “[artist name] lyrics” or [song title] lyrics".
