Warrington

Warrington is a town in the north west of England, historically part of Lancashire but, since 1974, within the ceremonial county of Cheshire. It stands on the banks of the River Mersey, 18.5 miles (29.8 km) east of Liverpool, and 16 miles (26 km) west of Manchester. The population in 2011 was 202,228; its population has more than doubled since its designation as a New Town in 1968. The population of the 'built up area' of the town stands at 165,456, ranking 46th out of all urban areas in the UK.

Warrington was founded by the Romans at an important crossing place on the River Mersey. A new settlement was established by the Saxons. By the Middle Ages, Warrington had emerged as a market town at the lowest bridging point of the river. A local tradition of textile and tool production dates from this time.

Historically in Lancashire, the expansion and urbanisation of Warrington coincided with the Industrial Revolution, particularly after the Mersey was made navigable in the 18th century. The West Coast Main Line runs north to south through the town, and the Liverpool to Manchester railway (the Cheshire Lines route) west to east. The Manchester Ship Canal cuts through the south of the borough (west to east). The M6, M56 and M62 motorways form a partial box around the town.

    Orangutan waiting for the perfect vine
    Orangutan don't you know I love your side/sign
    Orangutan waiting for the other side
    Orangutan motion from the other side
    Orangutan don't lose your sand
    That used to drive you wild
    Orangutan you lose your sand
    Waiting for the other side
    Just waiting for the other side
    Orangutan banging on the garden wire
    Orangutan don't ya know I love your fire
    Orangutan I wish you could go outside
    Orangutan I'll see you another night
    They say that you will be extinct by 2085
    Because the space that is your place will no longer be
    wild
    Playing on the other side
    Orangutan ain't it good to be alive
    Orangutan don't ya know I love your mind
    They say that you and I will walk together miles forever
    They say that you and I we share a vine that can't be
    severed
