Alkaline Trio - Private Eye Lyrics

New year's Eve was boring as heaven..I watched fly fuck...

182 dislikes lol the irony 😂

I dragged this lake looking for corpses
Dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards
Pieces of planes and black box recorders
Don't lie
And I've been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That has no alibi
New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies fuck on channel eleven
There was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink
And there's no ring on the phone anymore
There's no reason to call I passed out on the floor
Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry
But at the right place at the right time
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
And I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me
And at the right place at the right time
It will have been worth it to stand in line
And you won't have to stop
Saying "I love cops" for anyone but me
Your private eye

Alkaline trio Is amazing Band!!!! I Love Matt Skiba ❤❤❤❤😈

Thank you kiwi farms I forgot about this song

Its weird he sounds like he is from UK and , Bring Me The Horizon dude sounds like he is from US lmao

Nostalgia Maximus

I prefer this CD album! From Here 2 Infirmary - latest right now is better & safer than fucking Maybe I’ll Catch Fire & Goddamnit! Sorry guys but I hate the debut & 2nd album! They both fucking white trash!

Watch dogs alguém BR?

They made my college days amazing.

and my high school days less miserable

Still here in 2019. BTW what the fuck is watch dogs???

A video game released for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U. It had a playlist feature in-game, allowing the player to select and play various different songs from different bands. The game did tremendously, and received a sequel for the PS4 and Xbox One.

love this song was a 18 year
old and still got the same feeling to it.33 now ☺☺👍👍👍💖

Heard that!

happyminty

I can't stop jamming to this song.

Played this during the serial killer search because mood init

Well it's pretty obvious why they used Alkaline trio in watch dogs, it's because they're a chicago band.

The Light

fuck watch dogs, whatever that is, been following the trio since 1998!

I'm searching my Endboss on the Wikipedia pop punk alphabet

I've never see watch dogs

I had listen yesterday in the night - morning and I will isten tonight - morning...

Private Eye

I dragged this lake looking for corpses
Dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards
Pieces of planes and black box recorders
Don't lie
And I've been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That has no alibi
New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies fuck on channel 11
There was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink
And there's no ring on the phone anymore
There's no reason to call I passed out on the floor
Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry
But at the right place at the right time
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
And I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me
And at the right place at the right time
It will have been worth it to stand in line
And you won't have to stop
Saying "I love cops" for anyone but me
Your private eye

What's watch dogs? Is it a band?

Its a video game released for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U. It is sort of like GTA, but has many key differences. The game had an in-game playlist on the player's phone, allowing them to select and play various different artists' songs. One of them happened to be this song.

Apparently, this song was inspired by/is about the novel Pulp by Charles Bukowski (his last novel). Having read it a couple of times, yeah, that holds up. It's about a loser private eye who stumbles around drunk and relies on dumb luck to solve what few cases he gets.

I came here because Armageddon was in thug and this was in the same album. I had no idea this was in watch dogs

Charles Bukowski

damn, it is sad that the whole first and second verses of this song basically describe the last year of my life...Also, Danny is owning his instrument on this song, I love the bass x

Came here, through Pulp novel of bukowski.

I listen to this by playing Watch Dogs. Good music! Something about this music is so special.

My dog who likes to watch youtube brought me here

wait this was in watch dogs i have seen them in concert a long time ago in Chi town

I dont understand why people get offended for new people discovering and liking this song. Thats just more people that like the band u like. Does not matter where they found the song get over it.

one of my all time favourite songs, shame it’s so underrated

Seriously still my favorite band.

Every. New. Years. Eve.

It's thirty first night of 2018 and I've finally found this amazing song I've been looking for. This song is a gem. Really takes you back to 2000s. First heard it in a game called watch dogs. Hope 2019 goes as awesome as this song.

Watchdogs

am i the only one who didn't come here because of watch dogs?

Hi Jessica😘😙💀

como amo esta canciooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon

I saw Alkaline trio at Reading Festival 1993 they were amazing

they didn't even start the band until 1996 and didn't come to the uk until 2001.... lol, so either you are lying or confusing this band with another

I found this album back in 01...still so good

Emo game anyone? Lol

САМЦЫ!

I used to listen to these guys on the local college radio show back in the 90s. 89.1 North Central College in Naperville, IL.

Best road trip band

WidSilson
indeed

I wanna marry Matt's voice

I heard this song in watchdogs

This made Watch Dogs worthwhile. Heading to Pawnee. (They missed me.)

People seem to be mentioning where they heard this song first. No one is saying they heard it first from Project DCK's WDCK Radio. Listened to the old shows again and went looking.
Checked out a few other songs they've made. Not disappointed.

Good taste ubisoft

WatchDogs :000 <3333

https://youtu.be/9n5zheqtgUA Check out my Cover. PrivateEye

pikaclicks sent me here !!!!

Am I the only one that found them... STFU y'all. Either way, you found great music. Fuck!

Boring as heaven

138 people have terrible taste

Still one of my fave songs. 2018 <3

Fun Fact: all the songs in Watch_Dogs were by Chicago Bands since the game was set in Chicago.

I'm here because of watch dogs😀

tom delonge sounds great here

Nice meme :^)

Very high quality salty meme. As expected from the one and only Salty Meme Guy.

ACTUALLY Mark Hoppus sings this one

Don't find music like this anymore....

"New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies fuck on channel eleven"
I love Alkaline Trio for writing serious lyrics with a hint of humor :'D

I feel like I remember the album being "from here to the infirmary" not "from here to infirmary?"

No its always been like that

And New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven - I watched flies FUCK on channel eleven..there was no one to kiss, there was nothin to drink 'cept some old rotten milk someone left in the sink. N there's no ring there's no ring on the phone anymore, there's no reason to call I passed out on the floor, smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry!

Wow i just realized something... Normally i listen to music with spotify, but now i checked my favorite songs on YouTube and it seems like every song was featured in the tony hawks games. I do skate myself but I'm 16 now so im to young for those games. Its sad that punk died/dies out

Watch Dogs ? Anyone?

Anyone else find this cause of the ADTR cover ft matt skiba?

I came due to blink-182...please dpn't judge me. I like it!

Music is subjective, don't ever apologize for your taste

ADTR with Matt singing this live is so good...

This sound different without cars in the background because of watchdogs

Watch dogs and fallout 2... Amazing games with amazing music

Watchdogs! The best track in the game! :-)

Baked as fuck listening to this stuff.

Watch dogs 2018

this needs more views

"Private Eye" by Alkaline Trio Listen ad-free with YouTube Red"....yeah I have news for you about an addon that gets rid of those.

Who listening to this on New Years Eve?

Damn, today was boring as heaven.

Anyone think Alkaline Trio better than Blink 182?

I do. They are obviously better even though Blink is more popular.

I heard this song for first time in a Green Day concert

what is watch dogs

What's watch dogs? Is that that skater movie?

This is a good song for a rumble. Just sayin',I could definitely kick some fuckers brains in to this. Now THAT would be fun.

Hello from Ukraine

I'm a fan of this band for several years. This is delicious <3

Why does it matter how one finds a song, just so long as it resonates with them...I 'found' this song from dipshit "friends" who I wouldn't piss in their faces if their eyes were on fire

I watched Play Dogs because of this

Listening to this song, reading comments, ''oh shit this was in Watch Dogs?'' ''Definitely need to play it again just for this''

I used to watch this non stop on a free Kerrang music VHS that I got with the mag.

Fuck I love this song

Watchdogs 1!

Pop punk at its very finest. Fuck modern "music"

slightly disappointed to return to this song after 15 years to find people talking about watch dogs.... shit.. now im doing it

What's watch dogs ?

Watch Dogs

end of watchdogs made me sad and..lonely cx

watch dogs got me here, who else
