Satellite Towns, yeah in this case he's talking about bury, bolton, stockport, oldham etc. but it applies to any city and it's surrounding towns, the folk of which are decending upon the bright city lights. This is about drowning your sorrows in an unfamiliar/cold/non-judgemental city where nobody knows you and you will be forgiven for whatever you do, because nobody cares. "No I know I wont forget you but I’ll forget myself and the city will forgive me".
