There's a footbridge over the M62 about twenty minutes' walk from where I grew up – the view from that bridge is basically this song.

Roll me down, my friends
To this town's battered hems
And we can stand above the blackstuff
And draw dreams across the hills

From this shaded, silent backwoods street
To where sky and sea and Mersey meet
And the twin cathedrals of Hope Street
Are shining 'gainst the sky

Or behind us with the Frodsham ridge
And the blue-arched bones of Runcorn Bridge
Where the towers of Fiddlers Ferry
Throw their clouds up way on high

Roll me down, my friends
To this town's battered hems
And we can stand above the blackstuff
And draw dreams across the hills.
