scrapy “Missing scheme in request url”

问题:

Here's my code below-

import scrapy
from scrapy.http import Request

class lyricsFetch(scrapy.Spider):
    name = "lyricsFetch"
    allowed_domains = ["metrolyrics.com"]


print "\nEnter the name of the ARTIST of the song for which you want the lyrics for. Minimise the spelling mistakes, if possible."
artist_name = raw_input('>')

print "\nNow comes the main part. Enter the NAME of the song itself now. Again, try not to have any spelling mistakes."
song_name = raw_input('>')


artist_name = artist_name.replace(" ", "_")
song_name = song_name.replace(" ","_")
first_letter = artist_name[0]
print artist_name
print song_name

start_urls = ["www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/"+first_letter+"/"+artist_name+"/"+song_name+".html" ]

print "\nParsing this link\t "+ str(start_urls)

def start_requests(self):
    yield Request("www.lyricsmode.com/feed.xml")

def parse(self, response):

    lyrics = response.xpath('//p[@id="lyrics_text"]/text()').extract()

    with open ("lyrics.txt",'wb') as lyr:
        lyr.write(str(lyrics))

    #yield lyrics

    print lyrics

I get the correct output when I use the scrapy shell, however, whenever I try to run the script using scrapy crawl I get the ValueError. What am I doing wrong? I went through this site, and others, and came up with nothing. I got the idea of yielding a request through another question over here, but it still didn't work. Any help?

My traceback-

Enter the name of the ARTIST of the song for which you want the lyrics for. Minimise the spelling mistakes, if possible.
>bullet for my valentine

Now comes the main part. Enter the NAME of the song itself now. Again, try not to have any spelling mistakes.
>your betrayal
bullet_for_my_valentine
your_betrayal

As @tintin said, you are missing the http scheme in the URLs. Scrapy needs fully qualified URLs in order to process the requests.

As far I can see, you are missing the scheme in:

start_urls = ["www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/ ...

and

yield Request("www.lyricsmode.com/feed.xml")

In case you are parsing URLs from the HTML content, you should use urljoin to ensure you get a fully qualified URL, for example:

next_url = response.urljoin(href)
