I've only recently working with \lyricmode (and with a very old version) but seems that I get around that by using the capital R rests...

R1 * 8
I'm afraid this your answer isn't very useful. As an experienced user, I can guess that what you really mean is that you attach the lyrics to a Voice that begins with rests (you could just as well have used s1*8 if you don't want the rests printed,
i.e. if you don't have a separate stave for the melody).
Here, it seems that he wants the intro and the melody in the same stave and
if you then want to fiddle with several Voice contexts in the same stave, you
could just as well use the method described in "Divisi lyrics" in the manual
(the second example in that section).
