Carlisle Road Lyrics - New Model Army

Pushing up on Carlisle Road into the seething shadows 

Through the plastic visor - a hail of broken kerbstone 

Fire-lit-faces, all the noise - so much hatred 

What I remember thinking - I can't believe this is happening 

All I remember thinking 

Came home four, four-thirty, Emma was waiting up for me 

News chanel drone on the TV, her arms clapsed around her knee 

She looked up but said nothing 

I went up to the kids bedroom, touched their sleeping faces 

Wondered how I could protect them 

Wondered how to protect them
