I do not believe we could find you that one comprehensive site that
allows you to search on a lyrics string; find the title and see if the
music is for sale. At some of the online CD Music shops' onsite search
engines, in rare cases your lyrics string might get some results.
I think you first are going to have to do a general search on those
lyrics. You could try a lyrics specialty search engine such as
Songfile (formally the Lyrics Search Engine):
http://songfile.snap.com/index_2.html
However, I should think you would be better off using a general search
engine that allows both mathematical and quoting techniques:
+lyrics +"your song string goes here"
The AltaVista search engine would probably serve your needs, best:

When you have found your lyrics, you have found your Title and can take
the title to any online store or local retail stores in your location.
This India supermarket site seems to be an online mall. You could
search for CD's there:
http://www.indiasupermarket.com/cgi-bin/indiasupermarket.storefront
Fabmart is another such India mall site where you can purchase, among
other things, music CDs:
http://www.fabmart.com/stores/welcome.asp
ReDiff is an online music store from India that seems to be popular:
http://www.rediff.co.in/therediffmusicshop/
As to our helping you search by e-mail, that is not the purpose of our
mailing list. There are other sources much better qualified than
ourselves to help you learn how to search by e-mail. I've prepared an
autoresponder that will lead you to all the resources you would need to
find the answers and guidance to accmail matters. Send a blank message
