I found this lyric transcription a few years ago and it has now spread to like every lyrics website (lemmy.world)

If you just search for "hand me out to drive", literally all the results are websites that copied this insane transcription.

(For anyone not familiar, the actual phrase and what the song says is "hang me out to dry")

The quantity of lyrics isn't huge but the open lyrics database has pretty good transcription from what I've seen. (And it's way less annoying to contribute to than things like musixmatch) https://github.com/Lyrics/lyrics-database
