This song was written by Simon(E) Felice. The songs he sings are the ones that he composes, usually. When "Simon" is sung in the song, he really is singing Simon, not silent.
Personally I think Simone writes some of the more compelling songs that I love by the brothers. I read an interview where James and Ian discussed that Simone said this song was very truthful. There wasn't detail as to how or why, but take it for it is.
Probably my favorite part of the song here:
"maybe we'd go to Reno
Where you'd be my desert dove
And we'd find a way to make better love
Said, "Baby, that's how the West was won"
