On Horseback Lyrics by Mike Oldfield

On Horseback

I like beer, and I like cheese
I like the smell of a westerly breeze
But what I like more than all of these
Is to be on horseback.


[ chorus ]

Hey and away we go
Through the grass, across the snow
Big brown beastie, big brown face
Id rather be with you than flying through space.


I like thunder, and I like rain
And open fires, and roaring flames.
But if the thunders in my brain,
Id like to be on horseback.


Some like the city, some the noise
Some make chaos, and others, toys.
But if I was to have the choice,
Id rather be on horseback.


[ repeat chorus ]

Some find it strange to be here,
On this small planet, and who knows where.
But when its strange and full of fear,
Its nice to be on horseback.


Some are short, and others tall,
Some hit their heads against the wall.
But it doesnt really matter at all,
When you happen to be on horseback.


[ repeat chorus ]

So if you you feel a little glum,
To hergest ridge you should come.
In summer, winter, rain or sun,
Its good to be on horseback.
Hmph!


[ repeat chorus ]

[ repeat chorus ]

Id rather be on horseback.
