On Horseback
Lyrics: Mike Oldfield, William Murray
Vocals: Mike Oldfield, The Penrhos Kids

    I like beer, and I like cheese
    I like the smell of a westerly breeze
    But I like more than all of these
    Is 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, with 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.
