Ours is an ambient house

Floaty flutes, electric harps

Chanting monks, Tibetan bells

Mating whales, exotic carps

Here transcribed in flats and sharps

Sonic lithium and the best

Tailor-made for Channel 4's

Coypu - Partisan or Pest?

Heard the score and was

impressed

Tedious doodlings on guitars

Bubbling water, mushy synths

Record labels whose main stars

Leave the notes but play the bars

Let's go to the (wholefood

s)hop

Enya seems too rock'n'roll

Laugh? I thought I'd never stop

After that trepanning op

Soundtrack for those cosmic drifts

When New Age and old age clash

Never mind if style shifts

Still sounds cool in Otis lifts
