Garden party held today
Invites call the debs to play
Social climbers polish ladders
Wayward sons again have fathers
"Hello, dad!", "Hello, dad!"
Edgy eggs and queuing cumbers
Rudely wakened from their slumbers
Time has come again for slaughter
On the lawns by still "Cam" waters
It's a slaughter, it's a slaughter
Champagne corks are firing at the sun again
Swooping swallows chased by violins again
Straafed by Strauss they sulk in crumbling eaves again
Oh God not again!
Aperitifs consumed en masse display
Their owners on the grass
Couples loiter in the cloisters
Social leeches quoting Chaucer
Doctor's son a parson's daughter
Where why not and should they oughta
Please don't lie upon the grass
Unless accompanied by a fellow
May I be so bold as to perhaps suggest Othello
Punting on the Cam is jolly fun they say
Beagling on the downs, oh please do come they say
Rugger is the tops, a game for men they say
They say, good God they say
I'm punting
I'm beagling
I'm wining
Reclining
I'm rucking
I'm fucking
So welcome
It's a party
Angie chalks another blue
Mother smiles she did it too
Chitters chat and gossips lash
Posers pose, pressmen flash, flash
Smiles polluted with false charm
Locking on to Royal arms
Society columns now ensured
Returns to mingle with the crowds
Oh what a crowd
Oh, punting on the cam
Oh please do come they say
Beagling on the downs
Oh please so come they say
Garden party held today they say
Oh please do come
Oh please do come, they say
Marillion is a British progressive rock band formed in Aylesbury in 1977. The original lineup included Steve Hogarth (vocals), Mark Kelly (keyboards), Pete Trewavas (bass) and Ian Mosley (drums). Their sound, characterized by intricate melodies, poetic lyrics and an often melancholic atmosphere, has gained a loyal following over the years. After the success of their debut album, *Script for a Jester's Tear* (1983), the band went through several phases of evolution, with changes in lineup and musical experimentation. Their most popular period was in the 1980s, with albums like *Fugazi* (1984) and *Misplaced Childhood* (1985). In the 1990s, Marillion continued to record and perform, maintaining a strong bond with their fans. Steve Hogarth became the main frontman in 1989, leading the band into a new musical era. Some of their most representative songs are *Kayleigh*, *Incommunicado* and *The Leavers*. Marillion remains today one of the most influential and beloved progressive bands worldwide.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
