I normally put the words in google..phrases I'm sure of (or if I get desperate) I'll use quotes, and then I normally just put the word "lyrics" too and it finds them. Man is it hard finding lyrics, or song names for that matter, of songs you don't know... well at least with some of my hippier music. Twirly whirly happy fun music.

cool...i tried google and it didn't work...then i put quotes around the phrase and "boom, there it was"....sweet...thanks for the tip
To find a song when you know a lyric use Google and the following two tricks (one obvious, one not):
put quotes round a distinctive phrase (or two):
"calling you to join him"
and use an asterix for words you're not sure of e.g. if you're not sure if it's buying or building a stairway to heaven:
"* a stairway to heaven"
Which will search for any word in that position.
The problem is that sometimes these sites are pretty poor. If you're suspicious of one of the lines you can use the second trick shown above to search for lines with that word as something else. Or you can use Google to find the real band name and title and try the official band site.
And, yes, this would be a cool feature for iTMS but, like most things in this area, its a licensing problem as its usually a different company that own the rights to reproduce the lyrics. So don't expect it any time soon.

A few ads, but it's really good

I've seen lyrics for stairway to heaven that had the phrase"and there's a wino down the road" hahaha.
