The proper spelling is the latter-- West End girls.  I believe it is 
because "West End" is a place, therefore it's a proper noun, which 
(like you said) gets capitalized in PSB songs.

> Opportunities (Let's make lots of money) [or Opp... (let's...)]

The former--because what's inside the parentheses is considered 
"separate" (I guess?)--  For example, Se a vida e (That's the way life 
is).

> Go west [or Go West]

The latter--  See the explanation for West End girls.

Ha ha...

In other news, heard "I didn't get where I am today" for the first time 
today (my CDs arrived in the mail as expected via Siren disc) and it is 
SUPERB....  Reminds me of New Order's "Regret" or something that would 
belong on their 'Get Ready' LP...wouldn't it be nice if Electronic 
could put out songs like this again???  With Neil on vocals?  Would be 
wonderful...

Also got the 12" today, Scissor Sisters mix of Flamboyant is very good 
and fun--quite the "small, intimate vibe club" type of feel.  The DJ 
Hell mix of WEG is okay, sounds are kinda cool, but as far as 
"organization" goes, the mix is a bit odd---I still like Sasha's dub 
mix best as far as a WEG "new" type of mix.
