If I'm honest, I don't think there's a single SP song post the initial break up that had that magic to it. There have been promising attempts (the first time Billy played Tom tom and Make it happen with Backwards Clock Society etc), but yeah, it is what it is. Something got broken beyond repair with Billy when the band imploded. We can pretend that it didn't, but it did.
Machina II is full of that said magic, still. A song like "Vanity" that no one ever talks about even here is so beautiful. That's some master-level songwriting right there:
