All top class songs!
I assume the 'cryptic remark' is when Alain pulled Moz aside and said 'I know who is planning your downfall. It is not me'...
What drugs are you on? I never read anything which led me to believe there is a feeling of disdain on Moz's part. Quite the contrary, actually. Not everything in life is plain to see. You have to read between the lines. I just say "as if it could have happened with anybody." i.e. it was something special.
Everyone assumes that Alain was referring to Boz, but the more I think about it, I think he may have been referring to Morrissey himself. Let's face it, in terms of his career, Morrissey often seems to be a very-self destructive person.
And I don't know how couldn't you notice his disdain. The Rome comment, so on....pitiful.
Slight dig at Boz? Alain's cryptic comment to Moz before his own departure was most likely in reference to B, no?
First three choices are sterling (plus addition of Seasick… Absolutely). Never would've guessed Ambitious Outsiders. Trouble Loves Me towers over it, among countless other tracks.
But it could also be about the experience of recording it, his mindset when he wrote it, something Morrissey said about it.
Morrissey recently said how much he enjoyed writing with Alain and now Alain is talking. Who knows?

i think if you take the vocal out of both songs the musical composition of ambitious outsiders is pretty sweet
And do you know what a strong feeling 'disdain' actually is? People have a certain dynamic with one another and 'The Rome Comment' as you put it ... Well, my brother and myself are saying similar things to one another and do you know what? We call that "to tease someone". It's a game we play since we are children and I can assure you that we don't despise each other.

I've missed this "downfall" comment, can someone explain it's context in the World of Moz? Where did it come from?

I refer you to Alain's threat to write a book about his time with Morrissey, Morrissey's wobble down the tour bus after telling Alain that Rome was actually built in a day and countless sniping at ex-band members who are unable to leave the Morrissey "mothership" despite leaving his band.
People need to get their vocabulary right. Alain didn't threat to write a book about his time with Morrissey. He asked for permission to do so which according to Morrissey is quite pointless because Alain doesn't need his permission in the first place. We don't learn if Morrissey asked him not to write a book but apparently he doesn't fear it because there is nothing exciting to write about (see the 'watched me whilst sleeping' remark). Does Moz like the prospect of people writing books about him? No, that we can be sure about. A friend should know and respect that. And the mothership remark can sound quite arrogant but is actually spot on. The world is a large place. People could move on but they rarely do. And again regarding 'the Rome comment' ... really? Morrissey always says those kind oft things, to Tim Broad, to Mikey Farrell and I'm sure to many others. What is the point? Also people seem to willingly ignore other facts. Do you remember the Maladjusted liner notes from 2010? Morrissey says beautiful things about Alains writing. But of course these things don't count, do they?
So why on earth does Moz say Hush now after regaling us with the Rome tale?
To paraphrase from the book, you sound like you're a bit self-exiled in the branches of your own tree. Most readers would come to the conclusion that Moz and Alain wee no longer mates. Indeed when strolling through Rome at evening with Mr Tobias Morrissey says his friendship with Alain has run its natural course.
