Olives and Dates

Olives and Dates

Tanner came from the North Side of London

And kept the characteristic accent

Brought up on Olives and dates

He chased cherries from very young

Telling the girls to trust him

To keep their hymens intact and

Just roll over he would be

Gentle

And then they all knew

From an early age

What men were like.

Fuck a milk bottle they will

With the face on the side

Of the missing daughter.
