Alkaline Trio - Is This Thing Cursed? Lyrics






Is this thing cursed?
This goddamn thing's the worst
Now one look in that direction
And everything starts to hurt

Is this thing cursed?
It's been around for years
And everytime my boat's about tits up
That goddamn thing is near

I tried to throw it in the river
But it washed up in my sink
And now the city cut my water
And it's all I have to drink

Is this thing cursed?
If it is then I'm the jerk
Who keeps on hanging around
When I simply should just burn it to the ground

Maybe it's some kind of spell
That I've been living under
Collecting coins found near a nightmare wishing well

Coldest regards signed my name and sealed the card
Tried to leave it all behind me and almost blew up in my car
Is this thing cursed?

Is this thing cursed?

Is this thing cursed?
My haunted head aches so much worse
Than those that can't remember
How dismemberment works

Is this thing cursed?
It's been around for years

And everytime my life's about tits up
That goddamn thing is near
I tried to throw it in the river
But it washed up in my sink
And now the city cut my water
And it's all I have to drink

Is this thing cursed?

    Fell in love in high school with them at about 15/16. I’m 26 now but I’ll always remember the first time I heard Jaked on Green Beers and picked up a guitar and broke a few strings.

  22. A.... B....

    Love this song and album! But, there’s a spelling error on the word ‘nightmare’ do I win a prize?

  23. d.... v....

    I love this band ..punk not dead

  24. J.... C....

    It's gonna be great times for this band. An influx of new fans via Matt's membership in Blink 182 (Myself counted) and they put out one hell of an opening track.

    J.... C....

    J. Cav hey welcome aboard! They’ve got a lot of great material for you to catch up on

  25. 7.... S....

    Demons and division is probably the best song that came out this year

  26. Y.... S....

    I know Matt bc I love blink so I’m trying out this album. Before this I only know Mercy Me which I love

  27. D.... N....

    This song is incredible. Still not over it

    D.... N....

    D Nelson I agree DeMuglio

  28. B.... H....

    Misery makes for great music!

  29. A.... ....

    should have been my heart and head ache so much worse... but thats okay

  30. H.... M....

    I love this song.

  31. N.... D....

    Time off!v.wwwwtoIand

  32. N.... D....

    dairy.........BoozwaziNo bunny

  33. N.... D....

    Hex v.w.

  34. N.... D....

    pechaga

  35. N.... D....

    books of Valhalla

  36. m.... w....

    so is the “thing” life or alcohol?

    m.... w....

    He's referring to himself.

  37. T.... P....

    Eye Liners are making a comeback..

  38. j.... g....

    Muito Bom 🤘🏽

  39. L.... B....

    I think it’s crap, whole albums crap

  40. A.... H....

    Awesomesauce

  41. M.... B....

    Loving the new Microsoft theme song!

  42. F.... F....

    The answer is yes it is. Car? Sounds like haven.

    All these bands are me...in my mind. I'm not a great musician but increase...

  43. A.... T....

    Knew Matt joining Blink was awesome for blink, didn't realize it would be kind of annoying for discussions about Alkaline Trio. mostly a light hearted joke i've just loved this band forever, and there are hardly comparisons between the two bands

  44. A.... P....

    this is the best title track song since "Maybe i'll catch fire"

  45. D.... S....

    The way Dan sings "it's been around for years" at 2:07 = chills

  46. C.... R....

    murder, blood, death, curses, and cutting up bodies - all set to power pop. Such a fun band! Love em.

  47. D.... G....

    Coldest regards signed my name and sealed the card.

  48. S.... R....

    good job, Alkaline Trio!

  49. C.... C....

    Just realised this is the first opening song on a Trio album where Dan is the main vocalist

  50. m.... g....

    I needed this song right now. thank you alkaline💀❤

  51. C.... M....

    Caralho, que música maravilhosa!

  52. M.... ....

    Is This Replay Button Cursed?

  53. A.... R....

    Hooooray new album

  54. j.... h....

    Welcome back Alkaline Trio!!

  55. c.... R....

    Fuck yea!

  56. t.... ....

    Oh how I've missed alkaline trio

  57. h.... ....

    Dan and Matt singing together?? I never thought I'd see the day...

  58. A.... w....

    The boys are back

  59. J.... C....

    While I agree it's great to hear Matt skiba back with alkaline let's just take a moment to remember Dan andriano is also an absolute badass

  60. D.... M....

    Saw you guys in Dallas.

    Thank you so much for everthing, you guys are amazing.

    But Matt really needs to take a vacation.

    Guy must of had to memorize 500 songs in a couple years.

    Love you, man. Please don't burn yourself out.

  61. m.... ....

    I don't like that theres not another verse. It feels too short. I love the song though I just wish it was longer.

    m.... ....

    mtndewdude55 I think is supposed to serve more as an intro song to the album. I don’t think it’s engineered to be a radio hit or anything like that.

  62. R.... E....

    The riffing is so damn old school Alkaline Trio. I never thought in a million years I'd get this return to form. Still my favorite band, 15 years later.

  63. h.... ....

    Welcome back boys!!!

  64. y.... n....

    Ok, so I realize this is sorta hypocritical but it needs to be said I think. Listen up kids. I'm old fart and have listened to both bands longer than what many of you have been on earth. If your near 40yo and banging on with the bullshit then grow the fuck up eh.
    FUCK OFF with the Blink/Tom/Matt arguments FOR FUCKS SAKE and just enjoy and revel in the 2min 43sec for what it is, life is short and you could drop dead tomorrow. Comment on the song and upcoming album. Neither Matt nor Tom give two fucks of an iota about your bullshit, they can do the fuck as they please.

  65. s.... ....

    im very excited for the new trio album

  66. D.... R....

    Sounds like Dan Andriano in the Emergancy Room :) plus Matt! soooo excited for this new album! Its been a long time coming for sure!

  67. D.... B....

    Just listening just reminds you how unique Dan’s voice is

  68. E.... ....

    Hell Yes!

  69. R.... ....

    Anyone know where the old timey movie footage of the woman at the start is from? Looks super familiar but I can't quite place it.

  70. J.... W....

    Welcome back, boys!

  71. K.... B....

    Maybe I’m dense, but what is the thing that’s cursed?

    K.... B....

    Kirk Boo Himself. The song is about depression and hating hating your existence.

  72. K.... S....

    FUCKING LOVE THISSSS!!!

  73. H.... ....

    God damn, i love this song!

  74. R.... F....

    Song about alcohol?

    R.... F....

    Raymond Flower According to Dan, it's about depression.

  75. K.... W....

    Wow this is the first Alkaline Trio album that starts with a Dan song. This song is better than anything they've done since Crimson.

  76. S.... S....

    "blew up in my car" nope its "threw up in my car".

  77. S.... S....

    "now one looking that direction"
    whoops.

  78. F.... C....

    buncha fanboys.....;)

  79. U.... ....

    Good goddamn...Dan and Matt just took their harmonizing to the next level.
    Sploosh 💦

  80. V.... P....

    For a band with two incredible singers, I'm still amazed how infrequently they split vocal duties in the same song. This is a great song on its own, but having Matt on the backing vocal really works for it.

  81. J.... R....

    STL Show was absolutely Incredible!

  82. J.... R....

    This was amazing Live!

  83. K.... ....

    So happy right now ❤️

  84. P.... ....

    Yaaaaassssss!!! A Danny song. This album is sounding great so far. I was a little worried after my shame is true

  85. S.... K....

    Thanks alkaline trio!

  86. R.... h....

    am i cursed?

  87. D.... S....

    His voice sounds right at home. I love both bands but DAMMIT did they sound terrible when skiba was with Blink.

  88. B.... ....

    Лол мне показалось по превью алкашне трио

  89. A.... ....

    I hops a few of the new songs have a good mourning vibe to them.

  90. G.... H....

    Nightmare is spelt wrong ....

  91. N.... C....

    Wow. Just wow.

  92. M.... S....

    I wish they make a love song XD

  93. T.... ....

    Talk about nostalgia; this takes me straight back to Idle Hands.

  94. R.... L....

    Dan's had like 4 years to write for this album. His songs are gonna be killer.

    R.... L....

    Well he did write, record, release and tour an Emergency Room, so he hasn't been sitting around.

    R.... L....

    Of course but I bet he saves the special sauce for the Trio.

  95. J.... P....

    Love it.
    I feel it.

  96. N.... D....

    Love this song. Love trio.

  97. R.... R....

    I take it back

  98. R.... R....

    Thank God!!!!oh yeah we got Matt back from blink for a overdue alkaline record, sounds like maybe I'll catch fire with blink to me just a little tho
