Might it be possible to add http://genius.com as a source to the lyrics plugin? They have an API, documented at https://docs.genius.com/ and a vast collection of song lyrics (eg. for “Neongrüner Auswurf” by German group Trailerpark: MusicBrainz, RapGenius).

(It appears that Musixmatch has the lyrics as well, but the plugin doesn’t seem to find them.)

Seems like a great source. I can't quite tell from the docs whether the API actually exposes lyric text, but it's worth exploring.

I vaguely recall someone on IRC talking about workin on getting lyrics from Genius. It might be worth searching around to see if they made any progress.
