Wendy
God Street Wine Lyrics

Blonde Wendy, the principal's daughter
Introducing the titular character, Wendy, who is blonde and is the daughter of the principal

Scrubs her teeth to a pearly white
Wendy takes good care of her teeth, which are very white

Bathes herself in wine and water
Wendy bathes herself in wine and water, perhaps to relax and prepare for going out

Getting set to go out tonight.
Wendy is getting ready to go out for the night

She covers her face with precious lotions
Wendy uses precious lotions to care for her face

Cover her legs with nylon mesh
Wendy covers her legs with nylon mesh, perhaps as part of her outfit for going out

Dances all night with awkward motions
Wendy dances awkwardly all night

How does Wendy stay so fresh?
The artist marvels at how Wendy manages to stay fresh all night

And Wendy won't give me the time of day, no
The artist acknowledges that Wendy won't pay attention to him

But I still love her anyway, oh
Despite Wendy ignoring him, the artist still loves her

And if I ever speak with her
The singer imagines a scenario where he talks to Wendy

Here is what I'll say,
The artist plans to say the following to Wendy

Do you hear the music, Wendy, do you hear the tune?
The singer wants to know if Wendy is listening to the music, and if it is affecting her

Do you think it might bear some relevance to what you're doin'?
The singer wonders if the music has any bearing on Wendy's actions

Do you watch the sunrise at the very end of your day?
The singer is curious if Wendy stays up so late that she sees the sunrise

Do you hear the music, Wendy...
The artist repeats his inquiry about the music

Ain't you got nothing to say?
The artist wonders if Wendy will respond to him at all

"Well we're driving into town Mom but don't let it trouble you
The singer shares a quote from himself and his girlfriend talking to his mom about their plans

My girlfriend's driving and she'll stay straight
The singer's girlfriend is driving and will stay focused

We're all going in to see GSW
The artist and his friends are going to see God Street Wine (GSW) perform

Don't expect me home 'til late."
The artist tells his mom not to expect him home until late after the show

She'll see the band again tomorrow
The artist mentions that Wendy will see the band again tomorrow, perhaps indicating her love for their music

Wendy always comes back for more
The singer notes that Wendy is a devoted fan of the band

Keeps a little something to drown out her sorrow
The artist implies that Wendy keeps something to drink to numb her emotional pain

Hidden in the medicine cabinet door.
Whatever Wendy drinks to deal with her sorrow is kept hidden in the medicine cabinet

[Chorus]
Repeats the chorus of the song

Do you hear, do you hear, do you hear
Final repetition of the question about whether Wendy hears the music

Do you hear the music Wendy?
Final inquiry about whether Wendy is listening to the music
