What does HE see when he turns out the light?

I spotted this piece of street art when I was out last night and, as it was too dark to get a decent shot at the time, I couldn't resist going back this morning.

It shows our, ahem, 'glorious' Prime Minister, Mr Cameron, in full Eton uniform, busking with a concertina. But of course.

There's a similarly themed piece of graffiti just around the corner from this and, all being well, I shall be returning to blip it over the next few days!

I've spent all day with this song going round and round in my head...

Sup up your beer and collect your fags,
There's a row going on down near Slough,
Get out your mat and pray to the west,
I'll get out mine and pray for myself.

Thought you were smart when you took them on,
But you didn't take a peep in their artillary room,
All that rugby puts hairs on your chest,
What chance have you got against a tie and a crest?

Hello hurray, what a nice day for the Eton Rifles,
Hello hurray, I hope rain stops play for the Eton Rifles.

Thought you were clever when you lit the fuse,
Tore down the House of Commons in your brand new shoes,
Composed a revolutionary symphony,
Then went to bed with a charming young thing.

Hello hurray, cheers then mate, it's the Eton Rifles
Hello hurray, an extremist fate for the Eton Rifles.

What a catalyst you turned out to be
Load up the guns then you run off home for your tea,
Left me standing like a guilty schoolboy.

What a catalyst you turned out to be
Load up the guns then you run off home for your tea,
Left me standing like a naughty schoolboy.

We came out of it naturally the worst,
Beaten and bloody and I was sick down my shirt,
We were no match for their untamed wit,
Though some of the lads said they'll be back next week.

Hello hurray, there's a price to pay to the Eton Rifles,
Hello hurray, I'd prefer the plague to the Eton Rifles.
