For someone who's unlikely to code it

Actually, I don't think it would take that much extra coding, would it? In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there was already code in emphatic that practically did this already... as test-case code to make sure the lyric display worked independently of the ID3V2 reading code. I know that if I were writing this app myself, the first thing I'd do is have it parse a loose data file before tackling the ID3V2 coding.
