Hollies, The - Hillsborough Lyrics






It all felt so right on the first time that I saw you
I opened my eyes and I knew I needed more of you
You walked out that room there was no way to deny you
I felt myself shake the last time that I saw you

Why must it take such hurt and pain
Who are the ones who guilt and shame
Will they stand tall and take the blame

Why must it take such hurt and pain
We share the guilt we're all the same
Who really cares who takes the blame

Go on your way little angel
They'll be friends who greet you down the line
Go on your way little angels
You'll be fine you'll be fine

Go on your way little angel
They'll be friends who greet you down the line
Go on your way little angels
You'll be fine you'll be fine

Why must it take such hurt and pain
Who are the ones who guilt and shame
Will they stand tall and take the blame

Why must it take such hurt and pain
We share the guilt we're all the same
Who really cares who takes the blame

Why must it take such hurt and pain
Who are the ones who guilt and shame
Will they stand tall and take the blame

Hollies, The Hillsborough Comments
  1. A.... P....

    Does anyone know.....was this song written specifically for the tragedy or before it happened?

  2. Y.... L....

    Beautiful Tony, beautiful song💖

  3. A.... P....

    This song.....I love it.....I love Tony’s voice

  4. A.... P....

    I love this song but can’t find it on any albums....

    A.... P....

    "What Goes Around" is the name of the album.

  5. P.... M....

    Goosebumps! Beautiful! Tony should have sung lead more often...

  6. J.... ....

    By Tony ? Wonderful!!!

  7. i.... j....

    Always loved this song from the first compilation CD I found it on. Over the years I've found more than a few great Hollies songs that never saw the light of day in the U.S. This is definitely one of them.

  8. F.... B....

    Tony Hicks' voice is pure silk and gold. So strong... So sweet and soft... and the meaning is so heartbreaking... Only Tony could sing something like this.

  9. G.... D....

    Beautiful .

  10. G.... W....

    never heard this one before thanks for sharing tony's voice never sounded better wow!

  11. m.... T....

    thanks Tony for a beautiful and wonderful song.

  12. Y.... G....

    Hermosa voz la de Tony!!siempre tan talentosos Hollies

  13. M.... ....

    Tony... me gusta ese acento elegante que tiene ♡ le doy 5 ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ estrellas

    M.... ....

    ManzannaSaotome43 Yo lo amo también. El hombre mas bello de este planeta. Hoy dia todo un abuelito... pero q abuelo tan sexy.

  14. S.... B....

    Maybe the families of Hillsborough disaster would prefer not to re-live the scenes ... 

    S.... B....

    +SG Barnard I agree with evil

    S.... B....

    Then I would think they would know to turn it off, if it starts to bother them.

  15. J.... ....

    Cheers thanks for that.

  16. e.... ....

    The person who put up this great song, should of put up pictures of Hillsborough, not pics of The Hollies.

  17. M.... B....

    Not sure they can get justice as such, but at least everyone knows (even though I suspect we always did know) that in no way were they to blame.

    I honestly believe if the police immediately accepted they were to blame there would have been no aggression, as we could understand why they thought initially it was hooliganism. But to actually imply the dead were the cause of their deaths is almost unforgivable.

  18. a.... j....

    MENT TONY

  19. a.... j....

    NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE SHOULD BE PLAYED AT ANFIELD AND GOODISON TONT HAS A GREAT VOICE

  20. D.... A....

    never heard this song before but i remember that terrible day...it's a lovely song and now it's time for justice for the 96..

  21. J.... ....

    Could you please let us know what Album this song is on.
    As I have been on Amazon and cant find it listed or on Wiki.
    Cheers. (As it is very catchy)

  22. J.... ....

    Thanks To The Hollies and Tony Hicks.
    Sounds Great.
    JFT96.

  23. W.... M....

    Don't know this song, t's lovely. I am from Sheffield. It was a bad day for Sheffield; a terrible disaster.

  24. e.... ....

    Sadley most of the comments on this song, seem to have any knowledege what this song is about :(

    e.... ....

    I noticed that, and I don't either btw, so I have a theory. Was this something that happened in the UK? Several years ago? I'm from the US so that might explain why I haven't heard about it.

    e.... ....

    'I'm from across the globe in little ole NZ and i still remember the headlines it made over here. I believe Terry was there with his son. A lot of those lives lost could have been saved had the response been quicker, and then for the authorities to place the blame on the victims .BB

    e.... ....

    I think people around the world should Google the Hillsborough football disaster in 1989. The American called it soccer while we call their football American football this is worth reading to remember how many lives were lost ?

    e.... ....

    Skuxxpen Miistaa Yes the news where so terrifying.

  25. I.... M....

    I photographed the Hollies in 1977 in Canada. To see the shots go to ianmarkmusicphotos (.com)

  26. b.... ....

    b.... ....

    Be sure you are not the only.

  27. E.... I....

    This song is too magical!

  28. T.... ....

    My Id might tell you which Hollie I am crazy for.
