So I decided to start a thread for the lyrics (or as best as we can figure out) for the new Pixies songs that we've heard that have not been released on an EP (with accompanying lyrics on their press site).
Below is my take on Silver Snail and Classic Masher.
“Silver Snail”
On my way back to one
Half asleep with a loaded gun
In a room with a light bulb sun
Ain't no place for to hide
At an orgy of grooms and brides
At the scene of the suicides
Follow me
See my silver trails
Blessed be
When is a snake a tail?
I am the silver snail
On my way back to one
On my way back to seventh son
Then I count to a million
He will awake from his dreams
Find his way in these honey beams
Find a way to the cream of creams
Silver spoons for my silver snails
Black harpoons for the killer whales
I am the silver snail
On my way back to one
On my way back to seventh sun
Then I count to a million
On my way back to one
On my way back to seventh sun
Then I count to a million
“Classic Masher”
Saw you coming my way
Put my nose in a book
Some crap that you gave me
Or something that I took
Man, he looked so good
It had to be ooze leather
He's so together
Oozing like I never oozed
I bet he’s a classic masher
He toot toots when he likes the view
tete a tete with his haberdasher
They talk boots while they’re laughing at you
He’s playing dumb
While you’re looking at clothes
Straightening his hat
Mr. schnook ho-hum
I should’ve shook his hand
I never used to be bland
Never misconstrued
But I never amused you
I bet he’s a classic masher
He toot toots when he likes the view
tete-a-tete with his haberdasher
They talk boots while they’re laughing at you
I’ll bet he’s a classic masher
He toot toots when he likes the view
tete-a-tete with his haberdasher
They talk boots while they’re laughing at you
They talk boots while they’re laughing at you
They talk boots while they’re laughing at you
We can post links to new songs and the lyrics as they play them and we figure them out.

When I saw FBF play this at a solo show last year, I heard and understood this line as "He Tut-Tuts when he likes the view."
This, coupled with the inclusion of the word "haberdasher" thrilled me to no end. Two of my favorite terms, now cohabitating in a great new song by one of my favorite composers...
A few definitions from the Urban Dictionary could be seen to fit with the tone and subject matter of the tune in varying ways, thusly:
-----------
Tut Tut
1. Describing a person who is expressing an overall feeling of superiority or pompousness
"My friend just bought a new car. He was all like 'Tut tut, my car is soooo great.' "
"Look at that douche wearing an Ed Hardy t-shirt. Hes all like 'Tut tut, look at my super sweet expensive t-shirt, tut tut' ".
2. A dismissive comment for the overly zealous. Usually accompanied by a dismissive hand-gesture.
Can also be used as a verb. Ie:
Tut-tutting
Serena: I think I should be a writer!
Alf: Tut-tut, surely you need to know how to read first.
Or
Serena: Quit Tut-tutting all my ideas asshole!
Alf: Sorry
3. A slang term for oral sex on a male. Sometimes shortened to just "tut."
"Brother, I think I will receive some tut tut this weekend from that ho."
BTW, I had no idea about definition #3. You learn something every day!

| The line from Silver snail is on my way back to "Juan" I believe. Probably the Juan in Mexico, though there is one in California as well. |

| I think it's ooze rather than used leather. There's a mention of books earlier which can have ooze leather covers, and it explains the whole oozing lyrics later. |

On listening again I agree with your "ooze leather" (had never heard of it)and "he sewed together" so I edited to the lyrics.

Thanks for straightening that out. I'm actually surprised that was all I had wrong. Took me listening to Classic Masher a few times to get that. Speaking of which...
When are we going to get to hear Pixies play Classic Masher?!
