about

After seeing the ska/new wave flavoured Sleeping With The Enemy achieve 55,000 Spotify streams, original 1980’s indie pop band Daniel Takes A Train unleash their seventh single Bless The Weak. Rock solid and anthemic with a suitably hard-hitting message for these most trying of times, Bless The Weak recalls the more carefree Britpop heyday of Morrissey, Pulp and Blur.

“The 80’s band that would never say never” Tameside Radio, UK

“Beautiful, melodic, sublime indie pop!” Big Takeover Magazine.

lyrics

Bless the weak
Bless the poor and the needy
Bless the weak
You know it's hard to make ends meet
Bless the weak
Bless the kids who go hungry
Bless the weak
They have to cry themselves to sleep

There was something about you
As you stood by the mission gate
You reached out to understand
Shiny placebo in your hand

So please give me my one a day
So please give me my one a day

Bless the weak
Bless the frail and elderly
Bless the weak
Worship the ground beneath their feet
Bless the weak
Bless the fight for equality
Bless the weak
Get them back to civvy street

You must have seen me coming
Like a drunk at opening time
Saintly rays shone down the hall
Like Joan of Arc you heard the call

So please give me my one a day
So please give me my one a day

Hold on to your sanity
Hear the cry from the lonely souls
Shine a light on the tragedy
When you're clinging to the razor's edge

There was something about you, there was something about you
There was something about you, there was something about you

Bless the weak
Bless the poor and the needy
Bless the weak
Bless the kids who go hungry
Bless the weak
Bless the frail and elderly
Bless the weak
Worship the ground beneath their feet
Bless the weak
