on the new album, particularly on the track "Australia." Now, I'm not suggesting that the vocals sound like morrissey or the guitar like Johnny's.
But if you had Morrissey singing and about 13 more layers of guitar, this song could easily fit in on a later smiths album, musically and lyrically.

And tell me these lyrics couldn't have come form Moz himself:

"Ah, I feel like I should just cry,
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin,
You don't know how long I've been,
Watching the lantern dim,
Starved of oxygen,
So give me your hand,
And let's jump out the window"

It's quite good, as is "Phantom Limb" and "Turn on me."
