Anyone know how to take lyrics out of a song, or cut and paste them kind of thing?

What program should I use and how would I remove or move around lyrics in a song? Thanks!!

    That is REALLY complicated to do, and you definatly cant do it with free software. If you want to move the lyrics and all the instruments backing it with them, then you can use audacity and just cut up the song and rebuilt it in a seperate track, then just delete the original track. It might take a while to get the hang of that though. If you mean you ONLY want the lyrics and nothing else, you'd need access to the master tracks from the studio before the album was actually put together and mastered, which you just cant get. there isn't yet any software that will actually remove everything but the vocals, but you can probably use a LOT of filters etc to remove each other instrument. Have a google around for each instrument in the song and how to remove it, I know there are a lot of guitar practise tools that can remove the guitar from a track etc, and on my Korg Kaoss Pad there are filters that remove any bass below a certain frequency which could get rid of bass guitars and maybe the main tone of the bass drum (you'd still have a click, but you can sync that with the song wherever you paste the lyrics and it wouldn't be noticeable)

    So basically, there is no simple way to do it at all, sorry. Hope these tips help you out though

    I love the lyrics of "Will you be there" through Michael Jackson. It talks approximately the wrestle of dwelling. How existence is not consistently reasonable. How there are problems to your existence that by some means you discover it rough to stand it. My favourite line within the music is "But they informed me, A guy will have to be trustworthy. And stroll whilst no longer capable. And battle until the tip. But I'm most effective human."
