Bolton i/ˈboʊltən/ is a town in Greater Manchester, in the North West of England. Close to the West Pennine Moors, it is 10 miles (16 km) north west of the city of Manchester. Bolton is surrounded by several smaller towns and villages which together form the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, of which Bolton is the administrative centre. The town of Bolton has a population of 139,403, whilst the wider metropolitan borough has a population of 262,400.
Historically a part of Lancashire, Bolton originated as a small settlement in the moorland known as Bolton le Moors. During the English Civil War the town was a Parliamentarian outpost in a staunchly Royalist region, and as a result Bolton was stormed by 3,000 Royalist troops led by Prince Rupert of the Rhine in 1644. In what became known as the Bolton Massacre, 1,600 residents were killed and 700 were taken prisoner.
Noted as a former mill town, Bolton has been a production centre for textiles since Flemish weavers settled in the area during the 15th century, developing a wool and cotton weaving tradition. The urbanisation and development of Bolton largely coincided with the introduction of textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution. It was a boomtown of the 19th century and at its zenith, in 1929, its 216 cotton mills and 26 bleaching and dying works made it one of the largest and most productive centres of cotton spinning in the world. The British cotton industry declined sharply after the First World War, and by the 1980s cotton manufacture had virtually ceased in Bolton.

Genres: Action, Adventure, Short,She put away her rings, gathered up her things
Dusted off her wings and said goodbye
She left without a care, left the walls so bare
With more than my fair share of tears to cry
Way down deep I'm wondering
What on earth went wrong
My world's not returning
So I must move on
Starting over again
New set of silverware, new set of friends
It's hard as hell if you don't know where to begin
Starting over again
Down at the grocery, lots of folds like me
Buy one, get one free, but it's all in vain
The only thing on sale is day old bread gone stale
And broken hearts that fail to play the game
Round and round in circles
It's an up hill climb
Step by step I'm learning
One day at a time
Starting over again
New set of silverware, new set of friends
It's hard as hell if you don't know where to begin
Starting over again
Damage that's been done, it's time to rise above
I've got to look ahead for the sake of love
Everybody's doing it, it must be some new rend
Starting over again
