Several people have asked about the legality of my archive, so I have added some links to other archives' copyright statements. If anyone tried to shut me down, they would also have to shut down every other site from which I've found lyrics. I also refer the reader to Lingua Franca Dec. 95 issue, "Just Do It." I repeat: this archive is to save teachers time from typing in the lyrics to songs they use in the classroom. I appreciate and encourage submissions.
My final statement is that I do not provide sound bites, so anyone wanting to make use of these texts either already has the music or must buy it. This site, from another perspective, is free advertising for the music companies.

If you can't find something, try my Other
Music Sites, or google.com:
enter a phrase from the song you want, something without umlauts or ß.
Put quotes around it too to search for the exact phrase.

Maybe some of you reading this are native English speakers like
me who live in some German-speaking country. If you live in Munich, you might
be interested in a web forum I participate in with a guide to all kinds of
topics that Expats in Germany find fascinating -- like where to get
British and American foods in Germany / Munich, what's fun to do
if you don't speak German or where you don't have to speak German to enjoy
it. Where to see English language movies or get English language books, that
kind of thing. It's called Toytown
Munich - Munich's native English speaking crowd! If you're moving
to Munich it's full of how to find an apartment and where are people meeting
up. Many people in a foreign country get tired of having people practice their
English on them -- at Toytown, it won't happen. All kinds of events and Stammtisches
are listed here, classified ads for people moving to and from Munich, jobs
wanted and offered, where to get good Mexican food in Munich, where to get
a hot curry in Munich (Sitar!), etc. BTW, the site uses Invision Power Board
and Movable Type. Androv Dessous is a German online lingerie shop run by a friend of mine. Specializing in bras for larger ladies..
