I heard that Bernard Butler has said that he originally wrote the 1995 hit single "Yes" for Morrissey. Morrissey loved the song but said it was very clearly out of his vocal range and therefore passed the song on.
Bernard Butler then went on to form McAlmont and Butler and have two hit singles.
I wonder if Morrissey regrets not working with Bernard Butler...

Butler again[at a gig,pub,hairdresser], he can definately use Butler as
new inspirition for new work,wether it's for 1 or 3 songs on a whole album, and after that they go separate ways

Butler and Morrissey would be perfection itself. Imagine Morrissey singing to early Suede, a few wall of sound pop numbers and some feather-light ballads with Bernard's impressing songsmithery and production skills.
I still believe Morrissey can release the geatest albums of his entie life... but only if he does what marr did for him in the early 80s. Mozza, go and knock on Barney's door!
