One of my favorite springtime tunes is "Garden Party" by Marillion, off of their first album, Script for a Jester's Tear. It's a somewhat romanticized version of the goings-on at an English garden party -- punting on the Cam, beagling on the downs (which I assume is a reference to a fox hunt), consumption of fine alcoholic beverages, and some casual trysts. The lyrics are here. (Not exactly safe for work.)

Marillion is one of my favorite progressive rock bands. Although I must admit I haven't heard much of their music after the departure of lead vocalist Fish. And I wish I can solo like keyboardist Mark Kelly. I often find myself playing air keyboard to some of his solos.
