History
Opshop was formed by Invercargill born, Christchurch raised, singer/songwriter Jason Kerrison. He based himself in Auckland, writing music while at a residency in a backpacker's bar.
Growing tired of the solo shows, he invited guitarist and former school friend, Tim Skedden to join him and share the acoustic vibe that the club and its punters had come to enjoy. The following year, Kerrison met up with another old Christchurch school mate - long time drummer Bobby Kennedy - and invited him to join the new band. The band's name was GST (Goldfish Shopping Trolley), though it was soon changed to Opshop. Guitarist Matt Treacy (another Cantabrian living in Auckland) was next to join. The band then recruited a friend of Jason's he had met while studying ethnomusicology at Auckland University. English-born Ian Munro became Opshop's bass player.

Until The End Of Time
by: OpshopLittle boy we're waiting for your life to begin
You're here now and I can't help but wonder have you ever been
You know we made a pact before we, before we were all born
We'd be closer than any kid, anyone, ever before, oh whoa oh
Ooooo, oooo, oooo
I hear you heart beatin' through your skin
No the world's not perfect but with you
It's better than it's ever been, just know one thing that
Love, love will always win
Love, love will always win
Though we're on the right road it won't always be as straight
So love whatever you do fall for forever and a day
You'll learn that absence is to love as wind is to fire
Extinguishes the smoke, nourishes the light, inside
I hear you heart beatin' through your skin
Oh no the world's not perfect but with you
It's better than it's ever been, just know one thing that
Love, love will always win
Love, love will always win
You get too old too soon
You get too old too soon
And wise too late
Ooooo, ooooo, ooooo
Love, love will always win
Love, love will always win, always, always
Love, love will always win
Love, love will always win
Love, love will always win
Love, love will always win
Yeah love, love will always win
