I've written a little python script to download lyrics from lyricwiki.
Having been disapointed by the way rhythmbox collects lyrics only when you ask for them the perpose of the script is to get lyrics for your whole music collection.
Its in python and bash and worked pretty well for me. However its far from perfect and pretty dirty, I just somebody enjoys/uses/updates/plays with it.
The script writes a list of songs it cannot find lyrics for.
It's likely to fail in the case of unsanitary song or artist names.
Also the python script could be edited to use different players but I use rhythmbox so you'll have to work them out for your self. The python is commented so changes shouldbe obvious.
Please read the README and both the scripts before running.
