You know lurkers will come sooner or later, so after you have upgraded storm and built 2 temps (when your expo is up) build robo when you get another 200 gas. And dont waste too much money on zealots in begining, build those 12 zealots as everyone always do, then switch to goons. When his lurkers reach your base you will be ready with obs and a few goons to break it (Range is necessery). From here just build temps/zeals/goons depending on what he does, and pressure while you take another expo. And remember, dont do any stupid attacks against mass sunk, just control the map and denie him expansions, you will pretty much always have a bigger army than him if you play it right.

from your description it sounds like your problem is you still have an all or mostly zealot army, maybe even still without speed upgrade, by the time the lurkers arrive. it sounds like you need to tech faster. true that will make your initial zealot rush less effective, but you are losing to lurks with these zealots, so what you need to do is strike a balance, i.e. find the medium point between rushing and teching. there's not much you can do if you get caught with no tech and just a bunch of slow zealots when lurkers come.

if i misunderstood your post and you actually do have tech when the lurks come, im not sure what to tell you. i can't even tell from your post if you're talking about being contained before you exp, or a containment outside your natural after you exp. if it's the first one, you need to be more offensive and there's no reason why he should be able to stop you from exping if you play rigfht. if it's the second one, the standard advice for anti lurk contain is observer speed, goon range. attack lurks with goons and storm lings when they come in. if you're really having trouble, just spend the 400/100 on a shuttle+reaver, reaver owns lurker contain easily if you know how to micro and keep it alive.
