Matej,
The only way I've found is annodexing.  Their website is annodex.net
.  Basically its an XML stream (the syntax is CMML) in an ogg
container.  There is limited support at the moment.  However,
gstreamer supports annodex extraction so it should be easy to build
into gstreamer based programs.  I wrote a stand alone player for it.
Its not taylored to song lyrics but it'll give you an idea what it
enables.  You are able to have tracks with clips associating a title,
description, url, image, etc. with a start and end time, aka a clip.
Its a pretty cool open standard.  Here is a direct link to the Annoamp
page, http://annodex.net/software/annoamp/index.html .
Cheers,
Scott
