Site Review By: eoecho | Greg Magnus - Lyrics Search Engine at Astraweb
- This lyrics search engine is the creation of Alex (aka "Alee Kat"); a Mechatronics Engineering/Computer Sci student that one day decided to write a search engine.
Search results produced the lyrics for all of the songs we requested. New lyrics are added almost daily. Lyrics Search Engine at Astraweb is a not-for-profit site according to Alex, it's his hobby. Great job Alex, keep it up! - A-Z Lyrics Universe
- Site claims 50k plus lyrics and more than 1,500 artists. Heavy on the advertising content and annoying pop-ups. The links appear to be to other sites developed by the same webmaster (name not provided on the site). WHOIS returns:

Lyrics of the Day
Updated - Hard Working Woman - B.B. King
Got a hard working woman, works hard all day long
Got a hard working woman, she works hard all the time
She's a hard working woman, i call her that gal of mine
Well, i went uptown and bought her clothes
My baby got my money, put me outdoors
She's a hard working woman
Hard working woman
Hard working woman
Hard working woman, works hard all the time
Well, i bought her clothes and i bought her hair
My baby's gone, gone away somewhere
She's a hard working woman
Hard working woman
Hard working woman
Hard working woman, works hard all the time
She works hard all day, doing the best she can
When you come home at night, she's got another man
She's a hard working woman
Hard working woman
Hard working woman
Hard working woman, works hard all the time
Well, i give her my dough to spend on the line
When it comes to loving, she's the gal of mine
She's a hard working woman
Hard working woman
Hard working woman
Hard working woman
Good loving mama, and i love her all the time
