This is very cool :) By default, if the search string consists of more than 1 word do you do an OR or AND search? It seems OR from the results I'm getting, but most people now are conditioned by Google to expect an AND search (which really makes more sense..) Great work, either way.
Yea, I've written some similar code to this for fetching the lyrics based on arbitrary parts of the song. It's a fun challenge, and getting the correct lyrics is also hard. Well done on that account. I see that you are using a flash player to display Flickr photos, presumably appropriated tagged, while playing an mp3 of the song? I like the site though, well done!

'You're getting text encoding funkiness --??' please explain what you see, all looks good here?
Same here - characters in the lyrics aren't displaying correctly - like the character encoding is incorrect. (Firefox on Windoze xp) You need to sanitize the text you are storing to unicode. Here's a cut and paste: Singing la lalalalala la lé… And the night over London lay…

Sorry m8, I know the logo might be a bit cheap (30 mins work) as I am, but I really could care less about the logo, I'm more fanatical about making it actually work well.
you have the ring tone but you could always link the sheet music for another source of revenue
I would highly suggest you get a license to feature the lyrics on your site if you intend on going mainstream. Aside from legal troubles you could face, I think intellectual property should be respected. Using someone's copyrighted material without their consent is never ok.

this was displayed on the page above:
array(1) { [0]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(8) "coldplay" [1]=> int(0) } } here1 coldplayhere2 coldplay
And if I take the lyrics from this page, "Just because I'm loosing" or Just because I'm loosing, it doesn't find Coldplay. Am I incorrect in assuming it should find this?
I think it's pretty cool, but I would give the user the option of "playing" the song rather than doing it automatically. In my experience most people are already listening to the songs which they are trying to find the lyrics for.
This page also produces an error, I don't think Sting did a Wu tan song, but I could be wrong on that as well:

Found all three songs I looked for first try, but site is getting pretty slow. Might try whittling down the number of results returned. Also saw text encoding funkiness. Really nice tho, bookmarked. How are you getting the songs and pictures in the flash on the left?
hmm, site getting slow. I have to be careful about robots, they can kill it, as its all generated dynamically thus memory is an issue and I just downgraded memory as I like to run a tight ship. The flash widget I built, its all custom, Images from Flickr and MP3s sourced through Seeqpod, both have shit hot APIs.
