What is your favorite lyric of The Hip? Should be short, maybe 1 or 2 lines... asking this because I need a senior quote (I am a youngin) and i figured that theres nothing better than The Hip. So I am looking for ideas :thumb:

Well right now my msn quotation is "he said 'fuck this' and 'fuck that'" but for some reason I don't think that will be a suitable senior quote. So I'll get back to ya.

This one is longer than you asked but it is by far one of my favorites...
maybe we're born lost, born to perserve
but honey I'd walk into your painting until I reappeared
as a speck of comet-tail dust, a blue-green northern light
flickering just, in your eyes' deepest ravines

One of these might work:
You can't be fond of living in the past, cause if you are then there's no way that you're gonna last
It's the perfect time now
for an eclectic choice
they're all asleep but us now
it's time to hear your voice
It's a good life if you don't weaken
or
O'for a good life, we just might have to weaken and find somewhere to go

From ICBNEN:
"He said, 'we are what we lack'"
AND
"He sang, I'll die before I quit'"
words to live by at best. Also, my signature is one of my all-time favourites.

My yearbook entry ends with something semi-humourous...
"Your gonna miss me, wait and you'll see!
Fully! Completely!"
But the first lyrics that came to mind when you said this are...
"Don't sound so detatched, this is you and me"
and
"You can stuff yer void with the asteroid that's hurdlin' toward the earth".

Another one, just because I'm such a huge Trudeau fan. From An Inch An Hour:
"...no bemused Trudeau
No solitary walks through vacant lots
in moonglow"

having said that....this one is in my head as of late
They can lay their heads
on their futon-beds,
so many miles from home
you can teach your children
some fashion sense and they
fashion some of their own

nice bigdog
another:
And a memory's never gonna set you free
Go out and see that world and bring it home to me.
and
In my dreams, a candy coated train comes to my door
With a little girl, I can't have anymore
You know a letter washes up to the shore
That I cannot read and I probably should ignore
