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

To be on horseback



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 cars, and others, toys

But if I was to have the choice

I'd rather be on horseback



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



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



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



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



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



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
