The idea of uploading song lyrics has been popular and utilised on various other websites and is nothing original, but why not make PA an accurate source for song lyrics as well?
I just had this idea, that there would be a special amount of people who would listen to music while reading the lyrics and either type them up when they are in the booklet, or finding them on the internet and checking them to make sure every little nuance is precisely correct.
For example, today I searched for In The Woods...'s I am Your Flesh lyrics and all of the links I found had totally incorrect lyrics except for this one - http://www.lyricsdir.com/in-the-woods-i-am-your-flesh-lyrics.html - http://www.lyricsdir.com/in-the-woods-i-am-your-flesh-lyrics.html If we had just implemented this feature on PA, there would be no such problems, and perhaps some people would even come here to read the lyrics.
So, how about it?

If I may answer this as the writer of this site's legal notice (but not the owner's opinion either), lyrics are intellectual properties and it would request the owner's approval. Something rather hard to achieve and risky for legal reasons
and if they are under an electronic form, it is likely to be on the band's site.
If not prtesent on their own site, we can therefore safely assume that they haveno wish to (or lack the dive to) have them printed ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

How about providing links to other pages with lyrics? For example, I would like to share this, but I'm not sure which would be a proper forum. http://www.geocities.com/piotrt.geo/lyrics/haikara.html - http://www.geocities.com/piotrt.geo/lyrics/haikara.html
There's HAIKARA's 1st album's lyrics translated to English!

Also sometimes lyrics are pretty hard to understand, and sometimes the
lyrics are not even accurate on the band's official homepage. E.g.: The
lyrics to "High Rise" on the homepage of Hawkwind; there is a line
given as "caged-up rage, swarming all the time", but Robert Calvert
clearly sings "caged-up rage, swarming hornet hive". He had an
obsession with insect swarms, especially hornets; references to them
appear in many of his songs. The homepage does not seem to be
maintenanced by the band itsellf; the lyrics to the song "The War I
Survived" are, for example, missing. Trying to look up these lyrics
leads to very interesting results, as there seems to be a lot of
guesswork what Brock is actually singing on this track; the first few
verses are usually marked "???", and about the only thing everyone
agrees about are the words "Slaughterhouse 5" (a reference to the novel
by Kurt Vonnegut).
