Whilst not particularly classic Moz geographically (LA gang warfare), it certainly retains his favourite muses of doomed romanticism and a vicarious glee at the fallible pseudo-tough guy image. Most importantly of all, however, is that it is a tune. A proper great pop song, and we haven’t heard one of those from this man for around a decade.
And anyway, who can argue with a song that leaves the line “You have never been in love / Until you've seen the sunlight thrown / Over smashed human bone” hanging in the air like a sigh? Not us.

One of the many reasons why I returned "You Are The Quarry". Should've released "Come Back To Camden"....now that's a tune.

Catchy though.
