Oldfield Mike - On Horseback lyrics

rate me

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.

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.

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.

Chorus

Chorus

You know, I'd rather be on horseback.
