So, I'll give it a try. I am not quite sure regarding the Christians (and they probably sang some lines in unison) and Geryy Marsden but certain about Holly Johnson and Paul McCartney's lines.

Life goes on day after day [Gerry Marsden]
Hearts torn in every way [Holly Johnson]
So ferry cross the Mersey [Christians]
Cause this land's the place I love [Christians]
And here I'll stay [Christians]

People they rush everywhere [Gerry Marsden?]
Each with their own secret care [Gerry Marsden?]
So ferry cross the Mersey [?]
And always take me there [Gerry Marsden]
The place I love [?]

People around every corner [Holly Johnson]
They seem to smile and say [Holly Johnson]
We don't care what your name is boy [Holly Johnson]
We'll never turn you away [Gerry Marsden?]

So I'll continue to say [Christians?]
Here I always will stay [Holly Johnson]

So ferry cross the Mersey [Christians?]
Cause this land's the place I love [Gerry Marsden]
And here I'll stay [Gerry Marsden]

Ohohoh [Paul McCartney or Holly Johnson?]

Life goes on day after day [Christians?]
Hearts torn in every way [Holly Johnson]
So ferry cross the Mersey [Christians?]
Cause this land's the place I love [Christians?]
And here I'll stay [Christians?]
Oh here I'll stay [Christians?]
Here I'll stay [Christians?]

This land's the place we love [Paul McCartney]
Ferry cross the Mersey [Paul McCartney]
Cause this land's the place we love [Paul McCartney]

So ferry cross the Mersey [?]
Cause this land's the place I love [Holly Johnson]
And here I'll stay [Holly Johnson]

At the time that this video was created, Tony Bland was still alive albeit in a persistent vegetative state. Sadly he died a few years later to become the 96th victim. Fast forward to 2021 and Andrew Devine was added to the list as the 97th victim having lived for a further 32 years after the tragedy. May those two men and all those who died continue to Rest in Peace.
