Any good lyrics sites left?
Sign in to disble this ad
I'm getting pretty sick of the lyrics scene on the net. Seems like you can't find anything but ad/spyware laden mudholes. Everytime I go to look up some song lyric, the flashing lights and crazy gif animations make it seem more like a trip to the circus. Are there any good, clean, navigable lyric sites left on the net?

I also google the lyrics and, instead of direct linking, click on the "cached version" link below the site description.

It will load mainly text and none of those annoying scripts and ads that slow you down.

Annoying, spyware-infested lyric sites, you have been pwned.

www.songmeanings.net usually has some good stuff on it, the only problem is the site has had a history of bad servers that constantly crash.

songmeanings.net is good. I tend to use azlyrics/plyrics/darklyrics.com...mainly plyrics for me. I do get the occasional pop up, but there are tons of songs...heck, I've even contributed.
