Lyrics: Mike Oldfield and William Murray
Vocals: Mike Oldfield and The Penrhos Kids
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 Once ]
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 Once ]
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
[ Repeat Chorus Twice ]
You know, I'd rather be on horseback
