I'm learning quite a bit. And will more closely examine your version posted to lilybin.
If you see deficiencies in the coding style please let me know what they are.

While you may consider it ‘workable’, this is definitely not correct.
You have nested instances of \new Lyrics, with the result that none of
the lyrics are correctly (center-)aligned. What’s more, lyric extenders
and hyphens are incorrectly used, and you need a proper german ß.
If you intend to publish this on Mutopia, bear in mind that what you are
doing needs to be representative of LilyPond, and so have publication
quality. And I don’t even speak about coding style.
Here’s a corrected version: <http://lilybin.com/l8kuff/4>.
Yours, Simon
