1.1.1 on Arch Linux

This bug is on a consistent basis for me, i.e. the songs that don't load lyrics have never and never do load lyrics, between multiple plays and sessions. What's weird is they're all on at least lyrics.wikia.com (the site Clementine searches first), and for sure on at least some other sites Clementine searches.

Examples: Re-Hash by The Gorillaz--on both of my computers (same versions of Clementine and OS), it fails to load lyrics, and yet this exists: http://lyrics.wikia.com/Gorillaz:Re-Hash This example also shows it has nothing to do with any sort of title match-up in my tags with LyricWiki's title. Another example would be rougly half of Amanda Palmer's stuff, especially under The Dresden Dolls. And yet Silver Mt. Zion, one of the most obscure artists I've ever heard of, loads accurate lyrics for every single song in Clementine.

That's strange .... I DO have the lyrics for that song ! And, even stranger, from the "main" lyrics site (lyrics.wikia.com)... Here's the proof, in the attached file.

That is weird. I managed to work around it by manually enabling every lyrics site in the list, and now there's almost always at least one that has lyrics. But I noticed a lot of them will pop up with either no text or just one character/symbol. Here's a screenshot of that.

I should add some eliminating factors that I've discovered now.

A) This problem happens consistently across internet connections, from an Airport Extreme going through a cable modem to three different network systems at UC Santa Cruz, through both ethernet and wi-fi for all of those connections.

B) This problem happens consistently across two computers, a desktop and a laptop, both running up-to-date versions of Clementine, Arch Linux, and KDE.
