Lyrics

RESTRINGING THE GUITAR

The Clippings:
Amazing how assured you are
Once upon a time, it was a star,
Now it’s over with, forgotten and done for
By their own treacherous trends.
Their unfeeling hands
Is what is hacking your group at the roots.

Each with a little axe in her hand
Each with a little ace up his sleeve
Why should they ever ask for your leave?
(Hacking OPUS10’s roots)
Gone is the sudden glorious pitch
When they were ridiculously rich,
The world is no longer deceived
(Hacking OPUS10’s roots)

Anna:
(interrupts them)
How can others ever know
What is going on behind the show?
This is nothing but a holiday in truth
They’ll be back

The OPUS10 fans, led by Anna:
Gone is their rage,
Here is a new empty page
They write in the ink of eternal youth

Each with a little tune on his lips
Each with a little song in her heart
How can the group break apart?

No doubt that they were trying to rest,
No need to put your faith on the test.
They will unite for their art

The Clippings
Each with a little axe in her hand
Each with a little ace up his sleeve
Why should they ever ask for your leave?
(Hacking OPUS10’s roots)

Gone is the sudden glorious pitch
When they were ridiculously rich,
The world is no longer deceived
(Hacking OPUS10’s roots)

The OPUS10 fans, led by Anna:
(casting the clippings off the stage)
Each with a little tune on his lips
Each with a little song in her heart
The lively wolves return to the pack

No doubt that they were trying to rest,
No need to put your faith on the test.

(The fans follow the Clippings offstage)

Anna:
(holding the Journalist’s arm and pointing to the door)
I promise you, they will be back
