Added support for Sing365 and commented out alternate trigger for copying: a button that shows up on lyrics page. It's commented out since it's not placed properly on all supported pages. May need to add custop placement coordinates for some pages.

Update: added support for Tekstowo.pl and switched to the button trigger as default, instead of clicking on song text.
For some reason Musixmatch doesn't want to cooperate with the button. Will investigate.

Will this be updated some more? It doesn't work with Musixmatch right now :/
