I was trying to remember the name of a song. Not an obscure song: "Toe Rag" by The Rifles, a modestly well known indie band. I even remembered a chunk of the lyrics! But I got nothing. Here's let's cheat, and copy and paste exactly two lines from the song.

I don't know what other people see, but I just get SEO garbage listicles. Nothing even remotely relevant. Add "lyrics"? You get lyrics..... for other songs! https://www.google.com/search?q=See+them+more+than+my+friend...

You have to quote the entire string! Which won't work if you misremembered a word or two.



if you use double quotes you only need "See them more than my" lyrics. Though if you do "see them more" you get "Further Than the Stars" song instead.
