Hollies, The - Very Last Day Lyrics






Everybody's gonna pray
On the very last day
When they hear that bell
Ring the world away
Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day

Well you can sing about the great King David
And you can preach about the wisdom of Saul
But the Judgment falls on all mankind
When the trumpet sounds the call

All equal and the same
When the Lord, He calls your name
Get ready brothers for that day

Everybody's gonna pray
On the very last day
When they hear that bell
Ring the world away
Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day

Well one day soon all men will stand
His words will be heeded in all the land
Men shall know and men shall see
We all are brothers and we all are free

Mankind was made of clay
Each of us in the very same way
Get ready brothers for that day

Everybody's gonna pray
On the very last day
When they hear that bell
Ring the world away
Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day

[Break]

Well the law is given and the law is known
The tale is told and the seed is sown
From dust we came and dust we'll go
You know the Lord once told us so

Each brother take His hand
Heed the meaning of the Lord's command
Get ready brother for that day

Everybody's gonna pray
On the very last day
When they hear that bell
Ring the world away
Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day

Judgment Day

Judgment Day

Judgment Day

Hollies, The Very Last Day Comments
  1. N.... ....

    Tony Hicks was pure britpop 30 years before Britpop was a thing. One of the Hollies best songs

  2. P.... C....

    I wish the bass was much higher in the mix. Eric Haycock had a virtuosity on the bass guitar that Bernie Calvert simply could not touch. If you listen to the beat club performance, the bass is loud and sounds fantastic but if it had been Eric, it would have been perfection!

    P.... C....

    I haven't a clue bass guitars, so I've never bothered about how they sound. However, in my middle age I became far more oversensitive about certain sounds of drums / percussion.
    If you also happen to be an expert on drums / percussion, can you tell what Bobby Elliott was hitting during the verses on "There's Always Goodbye" - whatever it was I hated it, but on the chorus of that song I had no problem with the drum sound, but it didn't prevent me from ending up hating it.

  3. s.... ....

    I wonder if any more modern artists have done heavier covers of this song. Some bands I could think of are Motorhead, Metallica, Live, Blind Guardian, Rush and quite a few others

    s.... ....

    the only cover i know of is by the barracudas

  4. e.... o....

    Заебато!!!!

  5. c.... m....

    Allan Clark hermosa voz

    1:45 Johnny Marr's biggest influence
