Hello folks,
Something I started a few weeks back and thought I'd better move along with.
This is a DEFINITE case of needing a good vocalist - I can't sing loudly at present so can't even get the best of my worst done.
Nevertheless I've drafted the vocal and the unison/harmony parts and will see what comes of it.
I took inspiration from the type of chord changes & progressions The Zombies used as well as other 60s Invasion bands.

Z CARS (ZED for the non Brit based speakers)

Lyrically it riffs on British Police Procedural Dramas from the 60s to now.
UPDATE
...based on Torrey's suggestion
Z CARS 0407

Z CARS

Quilley's Zephyr's ready
Stane provides the back up
Task Force holding steady

Vera can't solve this
Even Morse is clueless
Gently's softly softly
Annika made a real mess

Z Cars help me
I'm losing
Someone's trying to steal
Trying to steal my baby.

Fast response patrol
Waiting at the road side
Banks is in control

Lewis can't solve this
The Sweeney is useless
Foyle' softly softly
Maigret made a real mess

Z Cars help me
I'm dying
Someone's taking
Taking my baby.

Z Victory One
Lynch has lost all sign
Get me Dalziel's (Dee Ell)
On the line

SOLO

Z Cars help me
Stop cruisin'
Someone's trying to steal
Trying to steal my baby.

Z Victory Two
Get Barlow on the line
So everything will be fine

Pascoe's on the case
Calling in the Old Tricks
All cars in the chase

Z Cars help me
I'm losing
Someone's trying to steal
Trying to steal my baby.

The band:
DRUMS RockHard^03
ORGAN 3993 Solo Blues Funky Even Charles & another in the background
