Aligning lyrics in multi-section song

Hi,

I have a standard 32-bar song with the following structure: Intro-AA-B-A-"Outro". Laid out like this -

Introduction  volta 2 ||: 8 bars :||
Intro lyric 1
Intro lyric 2

Verse 1 & 2  volta 2 ||: 8 bars :||
Stanza 1 lyric
Stanza 2 lyric

Chorus/Bridge || 8 bars ||
Chorus lyric

Verse 1 reprise || 8 bars ||
Stanza 1 lyric repeated

Introduction reprised volta 2 ||: 8 :||
Intro Lyric 1
Intro Lyric 2

I'm having problems setting the lyrics unless I embed the sections in different score blocks - which gives me an unsatisfactory paper score. I've read through the notation documentation on Lyrics several times now and I'm confused. Any ideas? I'm obviously missing something here. BTW the song is "Poinciana" that I'm arranging for a girl group I back.
