Check out the plugin at:

and:

Right-click on a track (whether playing or not), and select
properties, you'll see a Lyrics tab.  You don't need to use the window
pop-up at all.

AF> 3) Least important of the others: get suggestions from Last.fm
AF> based on the music in your library - even if you don't have it.
AF> Maybe try to get Last.fm to integrate into Rhythmbox so people can
AF> preview songs (and so that you don't have to do all of the work).

Somebody just developed the "lastrhythm" plugin for this:

and:

Eventually the alarm clock and lastrhythm may be integrated into the
official distribution, but they need to be downloaded separately for
now.
