Oldfield, Mike - On Horseback Lyrics
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.
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
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.
Hm!
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.
I'd rather be on horseback.

Very Nice ,..
This song sounds like I'm dying
Lol this is awful 😂
GronkMusic thanks for the opinion now fuck off 👍🏻
Here because of Pete Townshend's book.....enjoyed this song very much!!
Thank ❤❤❤👍
Thanks mike
Chorus "The Penrhos Kids" 🌍🌎🌏
funny, how the kids aren't just in the rhythm. but love it!
It surely influenced Pink Floyd's 'Another Brick In The Wall".
This came out first
What a happy, content, peaceful melody. Sadly live isn‘t always like this.
Mój najcudowniejszy tył konia :-)
Un chef d'oeuvre !
I just love it. Makes sense in my life. I can play his little song one hundred times.
The sound is clearer so it is remastered... On Horseback and Sally, the most beautiful lullabies ever!!
thanks for sharing. beautifull song from a beuatifull album !
dec 31 1976 with me dearest friend
This is mine and my daughter's favorite song from when she was a youngster..she will be 47 tomorrow, Dec. 30th! I still have this album!
Phyllis R amazing how music spans generations. This is one of my daughter’s favourites and she only 6. May quality music like this live for ever.
The kids in the chorus sound like they're having so much fun :-)
This appear to be a new remixed version featuring a much clearer Oldfield’s voice than on the older ones. Also more echo during the chorus. Also an added “Think of it” at the end, if I’m not mistaken
It must have been taken from 2010 remastered version.
I like the vocals here better, but I feel like half of the instrumentation was pushed too far back in the mix losing some of its majestic quality.
I hate so much the deluxe versions. The songs were great back in the day, why ruining all the nostalgia by adding new vocals, new instrumentation and horrible mix. Mike Oldfield lost his way on these ones like George Lucas for star wars ... or maybe that's an argument to sell new records. anyway I'll stick to my vinyl records from the past.
Only 587 views? Astounding!
Impresionante.
