Recent Morrissey Cover Versions

[Orson Swells]

I've noticed that recent Morrissey covers seem to acknowledge a lyrical/muscial debt to a particular song. Back in the day he did this with His Latest Flame/Rusholme Ruffians, of course, but of late I've noticed:

Subway Train = My Love Life
Song From Under The Floorboards = Speedway
Nothing Rhymed = Yes, I Am Blind
Simon Smith... = This Charming Man

Has anybody noticed any others?

You Say You Don't Love Me, Human Being and Street Life spring to mind, but I can't think which, if any Moz/Smiths song, they are similar to.

Simon Smith? Is that a song Morrissey covered?

Thanks for that. But I was thinking more about the recent covers and wondering if anyone had spotted any Moz/Smiths similarities.

I think you'd be hard pushed to find a link for Moon Over Kentucky or You Say You Don't Love Me, but I could be wrong.
