Course it does!
-you forgot a # before 'text (but I can see from your error message
that was not the issue)
-you have to start your TextSpan object *after* a note:
do not write \startTextSpan alone, but g\startTextSpan for instance.
-anyway, your snippet contains a (if you don't mind) stupid mistake :)
fis2'' is incorrect: you have to put first the pitch, then the duration:
fis''2

Your best option is, by far, to use jEdit text editor, and install
Bert Fodor's wonderful LilyPondTool, which will incredibly help you
not to make syntax mistakes.
