I feel like this is his way of "getting all these songs in" (i.e., singing his lyrics to them one last time) without actually having to put them in the setlist and having to acknowledge Marr's musical contribution further than the hits.
A bit lazy yes, I still find this great, or at least keep me motivated to check here what happened the previous night, which the never chnaging set list did not really help with.
Anyway, I was about to start the same thread, and have started putting the list together. Any help to keep it updated / fill gaps will be much appreciated :

It's not a Smiths song, but at Hiroshima 27 April 2012, Morrissey quoted John Betjeman's The Last Laugh (many thanks to sweetness522 who helped me to find the source):
Now if the harvest is over,
And the world cold,
Give me the bonus of laughter,
As I lose hold.
Any new ones?
No, and I haven't seen much contribution so far. So I'll make it a bit simpler, the ones missing right now are :
14/12/2012 Wellington -*Town Hall
15/12/2012 Auckland -*Vector Arena
17/12/2012 Brisbane -*Convention Centre
11/01/2013 Brooklyn, NY -*Brooklyn Academy of Music
21/01/2013 Pittsburgh, PA -*Heinz Hall
22/01/2013 Columbus, OH -*LC Indoor Pavilion
At the second Terminal 5 show in October he didn't sing any Smiths lyrics, but he did say something to the extent of "Some people are born for happiness, others for sorrow, but it doesn't matter very much because we will all be dead tomorrow."
I don't know if that's from anything and if so what it is from.
At BAM in Brooklyn, he did not sing during the break in Speedway.
