Clyrics uses plugins, where each plugin uses a different lyrics source.

# clyrics works by making a query on Google with the name of a given song,
# which can also include the artist name. The search is restricted only to
# the websites specified in the plugin files. A user, familiar with regular
# expressions and a little bit of Perl, can add more plugins for various other
# lyrics websites, using the general structure found in the provided plugins.

Copy the provided plugins to your home directory:

mkdir ~/.config/clyrics
cp /usr/share/clyrics/* ~/.config/clyrics

then remove and/or reorder the plugins as needed.

The plugins are tried one after the other, in alphabetical order, until the wanted lyrics are found.
