OK,

an author puts a song under an NC variant. Just the words, just the music, or 
the combo.

As I understand it, once a song is published (exactly what I dont' know, does 
it have to be recorded and the recording published?) certain compulsary 
licenses come into play.

I would assume these compulsary licenses would trump the ND license and allow 
people making use of them to use the work in a commercial manner.

Am I correct in this assumption?

If so, does anyone have any thoughts on ways of making this unattractive if 
you really are set against your work being used for commercial purposes and 
it does not matter to you if you get paid or not.

all the best,
