okay, here's the wrong approach to the song that came from my dad:
Its about the wild west, due to the English's love of the American Wild West.
No, its not. though the American Wild West is a highly liked topic in England, this song is not about that. its about an area of London, called the Wild West End, where you can go to pick up a girl. you can do the same thing as the carnival later discribed in Tunnel of Love, and the place Wild West End is also mentioned in the song Expresso Love.
You're both right. The area of London is simply the West End. There's no wild west end. There's a Wild West (in the US) and a West End (in London). He's drawing an analogy between the (long ago) craziness of what you might find in the West End by collapsing the term people use for the wildness of the American West together with it.
