Series 1 Ep 21/22
John POV.
First proper SPN-fic, Please be nice.
The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and how I wish I was
Lying in the arms of Mary
I met her in some dive in Lawrence; I was on leave, two weeks of freedom and I was on a mission to get plastered that night. I wanted to erase my memories; never see the broken corpse of my (as-good-as) brothers.
She came in alone, obviously not cruising for a pickup the way she was dressed; baggy flannel shirt over a crewneck tee (grey), dark mud/blood/oil stained jeans, trainers that had once been white, dirt on her face, no handbag and she looked ready to collapse.
I'd never seen anything more beautiful.
Every red blooded male in the room was staring at her; she ignored us all.
Double vodka, colour it with coke and two cubes of ice.
That definitely shortened the queue for her.
Alarm bells; Expensive!!
I had my money on the bar before the shot was in the glass. She smoked half my cigarettes and I lent her my leather jacket when she got in her taxi.
She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into fell good
Oh, and how I wish was
Lying in the arms of Mary
We dated for months; anytime I was on leave I was with her.
We both fell hard, and fast.
She was my personal sun; my escape from the nightmares.
I was her way out; her little light at the end of the tunnel.
She was the girl I wanted to buy a VW for.
I was the crazy fool with old fashioned ideas.
She must have known I was going to do it.
I proposed to her when my unit were decommissioned and sent home; when I knew I was staying.
I got tongue tied and dropped the ring.
She stopped my blathering with one word and the most amazing kiss of my life.
Mary was the girl who taught me
All I had to know
She put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned
All she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take
Our fist time was my first time; and she knew it.
She was my last time, she was never to know.
Our first time was awkward and amazing, beautiful and terrifying.
Our first time was the beginning of the end.
I've relived our last time a thousand times.
This is Dean's idea of the worst kind of chick-flick; somewhere between meatloaf and Queen with just a bit of REO and Joe Cocker.
That was true love.
So now when I feel lonely
Still looking for the one and only
That's when I wish I was
Lying in the arms of Mary
"I want Mary alive. I just... I just want this to be over.…"

Meatloaf- paradise by the dashboard light
Queen- somebody to love
REO Speedwagon- can't fight this feeling
Joe Cocker- you can leave your hat on (Full Monty theme *winks*)
