Thanks for answering Graham, I made a mistake, I put 
words={

} "!"

With the "!" within the brackets it works :/
But still I'm afraid that this is not the solution. When I do

WordsFouFO = \lyrics {"#"} it says:

ly2dvi:error: LaTeX failed on the output file.
ly2dvi:error: The error log is as follows:
! You can't use `macro parameter character #' in restricted horizontal
mode.
<argument> ...utscale \magfontOLYUomMMBo \hbox {##
                                                  }
With \lyrics{\\#} it says:
Parsing...Backtrace:
0* }
ERROR: In expression }:
ERROR: Unbound variable: }

etc...

Isn't there a method to tell that I want ascii character 214 from font
wncyr10 for instance?
And does one know where I can get the Cyrillic R, mirrorred about its
vertical axis, and this character which resembles most the 'X', but with
some more small lines? (sorry, I don't know the name of it).

thanks,
arie
