song lyrics
Can I quote song lyrics in a work of fiction?
Re: song lyrics
if you quote song lyrics, you must obtain permission ( a license ) from the Music Publishing company that controls the copyright for the song in question.
This is often merely a matter of asking for permission...
Check the liner notes from the album containing the song and contact the publisher with your request. If you already have a publisher lined up for your book, they may be able to help... otherwise, contact a lawyer experienced in this area (like myself) for help with this.
