Title: Demons Beneath The Sheets
Warnings/Notes: Spoilers through all of season 7, especially for 7.10
How to describe Bobby? He's the town drunk. He's a cantankerous old man. He's a research genius. He's an adoptive father to Sam and Dean Winchester. He helped save the world a few times, but he wouldn't tell you that. He's a hero.
“Dad was a mean drunk. I figured I'd be just like him. And, hey, look - I was right. No sense passing on the legacy.”
Old Number Seven - The Devil Makes Three
I guess I grew up on an old dirt road,
pedal to the metal always did what I was told.
Till I found out that my brand new clothes
came second hand from the rich kids next door.
When I grew up fast, I guess I grew up mean.
There’s a thousand things inside my head I wish I ain’t seen.
And now I just wander through a real bad dream,
feeling like I’m coming apart at the seams.
Young Man In America - Anais Mitchell
My father was a lord of land, my daddy was a repo man.
Put me out onto the street, didn’t give a damn for me.
Did not give a damn.
Daddy, daddy, gonna wish you never had me, I’m a young man.
I’m growing right before your eyes, I might grow to such a size.
Blow in like a hurricane, everyone will know my name
....
Maybe I climb the stairs with a girl of golden hair.
Hold her like a sword and shield up against this lonely world.
“So how long after this...”
“...did she get possessed? Three days. Biggest regret of my life, this fight. You'd think it was when I had to stab her to death, but... no. All through that... I was thinking we never got to get past this. If I'd have known, I'd have said anything she wanted to hear.”
Steam Rising - Murder By Death
There is hell on earth, there are demons beneath the sheets.
They see through the window cracks, they slip through the floorboards.
The mortar is turning black. The foundation starts to crack.
Honey, pack your bags and go.
All Apologies - Nirvana
I wish I was like you, easily amused.
Find my nest of salt, everything is my fault.
I’ll take all the blame, Aqua Sea Foam shame.
Sunburn freezer burn, choking on the ashes of her enemy
....
In the sun. Married. Buried. Married. Buried.
Mykonos - Fleet Foxes
I remember how they took you down
as the winter turned the meadow brown.
You go wherever you go today. You go today.
When I’m walking brother don’t you forget,
it ain’t often that you’ll ever find a friend.
Hospital Beds - Cold War Kids
Tell me the story of how you ended up here.
I’ve heard it all in the hospital.
...
I’ve got one friend laying across from me.
I did not choose him, he did not choose me.
We’ve got no chance of recovery, sharing hospital
joy and misery, joy and misery, joy and misery.
I've Been Everywhere - Johnny Cash
He asked me if I’d seen a road with so much dust and sand
and I said, “Listen: I’ve traveled every road in this here land.”
“When you find God, tell him to send legs!”
Oh, Injury - Rasputina
A mistreated machine can start acting mean.
It can crack up all over the place.
Oh, injury. What a nasty wound here - let me see.
If you put metal inside of a man,
he can work much faster than you can.
With a toothpick, a penknife, a can opener.
Oh, injury.
A Dustland Fairytale - The Killers
A change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire.
She says she always knew he’d come around.
And the decades disappear like sinking ships but we persevere.
God gives us hope, but we still fear what we don’t know.
Your mind is poisoned.
...
Saw Cinderella in a party dress, but she was looking for a nightgown.
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands; he’s getting ready for a showdown.
...
Out here the good girls die.
“You built a panic room?”
“I had a weekend off.”
Save Your Ass - Damion Suomi
Went out west only to find, everybody is the same.
Working jobs and getting high, trying not to go insane.
I’ve killed everything I’ve ever done, I have ever tried.
I kissed the devil and I, I spoke the name on high.
Nobody’s gonna save your ass, except for you.
"You didn't read your contract.”
“The hell you talking about, contract?”
“Paragraph 18, subsection B, which is on your naughty bits. I only have to make "best efforts" to give you back your soul.”
Black Elevator - The Builders And The Butchers
And I know a better place, it’s so much further down.
You’ll be ever mine in there with a hammer coming down.
And ever you work the earth and your hands will turn to stone.
No one here knows your name and you won’t be coming home.
You’re going down in a black elevator.
You try to drink the water, oh, the water wouldn’t save you.
“This is Bobby Singer’s direct hotline. You should not have this number.”
Ain't No Rest For The Wicked - Cage The Elephant
I know we can’t slow down, we can’t hold back,
though you know we wish we could.
Oh no, there ain’t no rest for the wicked
until we close our eyes for good.
“Bobby...you’ve helped. You got handed a small, unremarkable life, and you did something with it. Most men like you die of liver disease, watching Barney Miller reruns. You’ve done enough. Believe me.”
Oh Death - Diane Izzo
I’ll fix your feet till you can’t walk.
I’ll lock your jaw till you can’t talk.
I’ll close your eyes so you can’t see,
this very hour come and go with me.
Death, I come to take the soul,
leave the body and leave it cold.
To drop the flesh off of the frame,
the earth and worms both have claim.
Oh, Death. Oh, Death, won’t you spare me over another year?
Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes
I’m gonna fight ‘em off.
A seven nation army couldn’t hold me back.
They’re gonna rip it off,
taking their time right behind my back.
And I’m talking to myself at night
because I can’t forget.
Deadwood Mountain - Big & Rich
I’ve been a rambler all my life.
Been a bet-it-all gambler, yeah, I let it all ride.
Never been afraid of losing;
there’ve been times I’ve lost it all.
But it won’t really matter someday when I’m gone.
...
And cover me a little extra deep.
Cuz that’s the only way I’m ever gonna rest in peace.
.Zip-i-dee-doo-dah!
