How many times have you had a song stuck in your head and wanted to know the lyrics, but all you can remember is the same verse that plays over and over (and over) again in your head?
If you are anything like me, this happens a lot.
If you have Windows 8 Consumer Preview and are looking for a lyrics finding program outside of the browser, you are actually in luck with Musix Match.

Immediately you are greeted by an app that clearly tries to hold pretty close to the Microsoft tile-based Metro styling.
It is actually rather simply laid out, click on any tile brings you to a secondary page that has either a video and a lyrics spot, or just lyrics.
Additionally there is a search option, though I'm less of a fan of it as it is one of the apps that uses the charm bar search system, though I'm starting to get used to this approach.

My first search didn't turn up any results, but for the most part I found that there is a pretty robust amount of songs that this database can find, both older and newer and of a variety of different styles.

Once you are to the lyrics, they are laid out very cleanly in columns. That's pretty much it. There is nothing ground-breaking to this app but if you are looking for lyrics to a song, it does the job and does it very well.
Sure, you could just use the web, but where is the fun in that? Not to mention, full-screen web shells like these seem to remove the access 'web bloat' and just simply give you results, quick and easy.
