Name: Wendy Wants To Win
Duration: P00H02M50S
Description: Written, performed (singing and guitar) and produced by me, Jodie Smith. Mixed and mastered by Forest DLG of Studio KMJ45. This song is about the pressure we can put ourselves under in order to feel worthy and to avoid facing difficult emotions. I can be a bit of a Wendy at times. I think most of us can. This is the first release from my upcoming debut EP, due to be released later this year.

lyrics

She's sociable, intellectual, she's got vinyl that's collectible
See her house - she's cleaned it
She's happy - see her photos, she means it
The latest subtitled film - she's seen it
Always composed when expressing her feelings

Wendy wants to win and if she doesn't she will be broken
Like the hamster that's come off the wheel
So Wendy keeps going and going and going and
Wendy wants to win and if she doesn't she will be broken
She'll do anything not to feel

Her kids party bags are always eco friendly
Her outfits are ethical and effortlessly trendy
Her yoga makes her wise, fit and bendy
Ain't nothing like spag bol made by Wendy
She's just got herself another promotion
When her kids kick off she can't stand the commotion
She tries to stay calm but feels an explosion inside
She's losing it, knows it, the frustrations building
She wishes that she could be kind
She just can't let go, wants to keep control
But the anger has got its own mind and

Wendy wants to win and if she doesn't she will be broken
Like the hamster that's come off the wheel
So Wendy keeps going and going and going and
Wendy wants to win and if she doesn't she will be broken
She'll do anything not to feel

She's a dormant volcano, bubbling underneath
She's a dormant volcano, struggling underneath

Wendy wants to win and if she doesn't she will be broken
Like the hamster that's come off the wheel
So Wendy keeps going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going.........until.
