TLNU’s debut album, a rock opera concept album, The Florida Woman took 3 years to complete - released in 2017 - and featured only live musicians.
(1) The Whispering Wilds
Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah Baby Baby
Baby baby baby baby yeah
Woo ooh ooh uh
Strike up the knives and let the evening angels fly
batten down the hatches let them rattle through the sky
sound off the trumpets let the people hear your call
even if they misunderstand our writing on the wall
open up the concert gates let the mass entrance begin
what’s the point of dreamin’ it if livin’ it’s a sin
we’ve got a way with words, you’ll never get away
countin’ down the sands in the palm of your hands
you’ll play the band you’re dealt, we’ll play
you’ll sit where the chairs are provided for you, our way, our way
when the drummer hits the snare tom then the band begins to play
all the fans are starting’ guessing’ what the singers gonna say
he tells the fabled story of the late nite undertow
all about a Florida woman who’s got nothing left to show
a woman named Christina and a man that calls her name
she only wants to know for sure that her lover feels the same
when she’s had a few too many drinks then the boots begin to pile
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
but instead of straight up telling you think we’ll sing it for a while
requite the angels’ love, they love
rewrite songs over the stove
stoke up the knives and let the evening go
baby baby baby babe, baby
let the evening go, let the evening go
We’ve got a way with words, you’ll never get away
you taught your fingers how to sing, we’re king
pulled in by the undertow
here’s the show
here’s the show
the number you have dialed is not in service
please check the number and dial again
or dial 611 for customer assistance
(2) Ah! Florida Woman
huh huh huh oh huh huh oh huh oh huh oh huh
huh huh huh oh huh huh oh huh oh huh oh huh
Ah florida woman
you goin’ no where and your life is in ruin
ah florida mama, moved from Okaloosa to be near the Bahamas
she said, tube runnin' up the Econlockhatchee
my Pa’s Virginian and my Mom was Apache
she drinks the liquor she can fit in her panties
on nights and weekends she’s a granny nanny
shift into neutral on the I-95
whip out the razor never felt more alive
she said, Jesus is watching’ is that making you hot
she checked yes on 2 but voted for Rick Scott
Ah Florida woman ,ah Florida woman, ah Florida mama - you got a face i can’t love
and you’re stuck in your pajamas
she never wanted it to be this way, no one is watching it will be okay
she said, it lives in water so it won’t say a word
I got it real high first just to make damn sure
she got the munchies and she likes Mickey D’s
she walked ten friggin minutes for that extra cheese
she said, i got no money and got down on her knees
completely clueless why they called the police
ah fl woman, Suanee sleaze
I never thought that in a million years
I’d make a pit stop in Debary and be buying you beers
ah Florida woman, thing to be feared
if I could pray you away, I’d go to church every day
and I would never ask directions when I’m traveling’ through here
(3) Christina
My life before you had been bitter sweet
and full of memories that had gone so wrong
a strange concoction of the friends I’d meet, the pain I’d feel and the love
that had come and gone
there’s no predicting what can lie ahead in this great big giant future that’s in store
one things for certain when I lie in bed I’m staring’ at the one girl I adore
Christina, Christina, you make me believe yeah in things that I can’t say
Christina, you make me believe, yeah, you make me relieved, yeah, in every single way
I get so nervous and i feel so crazy, love’s not lazy standing at your door
a million miles could await ahead cause we’re far from dead
it's a fact that you can’t ignore
I wanna scream it from the mountain-tops
and pull out the stops, and lift you from the floor
If I could tell you just a single thing besides that ring its happiness is yours
Christina, Christina, you make believe yeah, in thingsthta I can’t say
Christina, you make me believe yeah, you make me relieved yeah in every single way
Christina, Christina, these things are unseen yeah, too deep to just behold
Christina, I hope you know what I mean, yeah
cause its so hard to see, yeah
the things you can’t be told
(4) Prissy Marie

@Kattfortress
TLNU’s Spring 2019 release features Gabriel “Katt Fortress” Burough and is a mix between Kenji and Katt’s live instruments as well as sequenced synths.
Tracks included are:
1) You’re the Host
You’re feeling groovy
Got a media smoothie
runnin ice cold down your mind
Sit back and lack facts
With Elizabeth Hasselback
Pole Dancing in your mind
Its Differential
To Your Populace’s potential
Yet you always feel the need
Go onto Facebook
With its millions of laced hooks
Unaware of on what you feed
You only know the boat you row
Chomp up your snacks
Relax
Sit Back Enjoy the show
You’re the host if The Late Nite Undertow
French Flag for Burka
Man its a shit ton o work to
Show the world that you are for real
Slurp up your latte’
Nuke your brought-in pork satee
Tell your friends how it made you feel
You took the blue pill
But you still had to chew still
Its a mass-programmatic rush
Media Slurp
Now your brain’s got the herpes
After starin at Jenna’s Bush
You only reap the things you sew
Chomp up your snacks
Relax
Sit back enjoy the show
You’re the host of The Late Nite Undertow
You never yes if you’re a no
Sit in your cave
Click Save
Behave at an all-time low
You’re the Host of The Late Nite Undertow
You’re The Host
You’re The Host
You’re the Host of The Late Nite Undertow
(2) Upside Down
Strange kissin in a bathroom stall
So many women, wanna kiss ‘em all
I got a fresh rolled doobie and its ready to blow
I’m gonna take you to a place you was a-fraid to go
and all the people said I got no common sense
Well I can tell ‘em 10 years later what the music meant
I got a garden way up higher where the trumpets sound
Yeah Come on take me where the grass grows upside-down
Upside-down
where the grass grows, where the grass grows
upside down
I got a fender strata caster and a hashoil pipe
I’m gonna show her how a groupie really earns her stripes
That crowd of people out back can smell me later but
right now baby take you one my elevator
Gotta fresh rolled spiffy and its ready to suck
out on the tailgate of my bassist’s two door pick up truck
I got a garden way up higher where the trumpets sound
come on and take me where the grass grows upside down
1000 octaves and a scale to boot
I’m gonna take her to the basement put her in the mood
a little secret and you know the Robinsons are there
so kick your shoes off spread your legs out and pull down your hair
and both my parents always said I had no common sense
well I can show ‘em 10 years later what the music meant
I got a garden way up higher where the trumpets sound
come on and take me where the grass grows upside down
upside down
where the grass grows, where the grass grows, where the grass grows
upside-down
(3) Tickertape Parade
Cocaine lips kerosene relapse
coal train myths sad day speed traps
red rain kisses in the fast lane kisses in the fast cash FairPlay risks blue jean thigh gaps propane poker chips good lay rematch unafraid could blame things in my past
ticker tape parade run down my back
it’s all the same its all sidetracked
ticket tape parade stay in your lane
pray it don’t matter just say my name my name my kids after what
listen to the playback as of yet unclaimed ashtray heart attack no love remains
angry hypochondriac
ticker tape parade run down my back
it’s all the same its all sidetracked
ticker tape parade stay in your lane
pray it don’t matter just say my name my name my kids after what
listen to the playback as of yet unclaimed ashtray heart attack no love remains
angry hypochondriac
hyperventilate hypertension hibernate
cocaine lips
cocaine lips
ticker tape parade
(hibernate)
(4) Taken
Down in the trench of time
Bubbling up rhyme by rhyme
dark is the pitch of fear
nothing hurts far or near
danger the shadow falls
labyrinth was after wall
cat that is black as night
I can’t put up a fight
tired I remain so small
wondering what makes it all
lowered to a pitch of grace
look of pain on my face
fly but I can’t be seen
no-one knows what I mean
Abracadabra mind
Knowing just what Ill find
taken me sideways
dragged me across the ground
barred from all my ways
focused on every sound
broken me sideways
drugged from the hallowed ground
stripped from the sideways
focused on every sound
(x2)
(5) Beatiful
You’re Beautiful
You’re Beautiful
You’re Beautiful
Strange things when I’m looking at you
Feel so dizzy don’t know what to do
You’re Beautiful you know it and I don’t know what to do now
You’re Beautiful
You’re Beautiful
You’re B e a u t i f u Beautiful
I wanna f u b e a u t i f u beautiful
I wanna eff you 'cause you’re beautiful
I wanna b e a u t i f u because you’re so beautiful
You’re Beautiful
You’re Beautiful
Beautiful
You’re Beautiful
