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.


[ 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 ]

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 ]

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.
Hmph!


[ Repeat Chorus ]

[ Repeat Chorus ]

I'd rather be on horseback.

Cover art for On Horseback lyrics by Mike Oldfield

The hippotherapy in the declension of Mr. Mike Oldfield ^^

Humorous captions aside, listening to this timeless song you are invested by so many emotions ..., you are gently brought back to that period of childhood in wich innocence was an essential substrate for the perception of the magic of life, and.. nostalgia, simplicity, joy, warmth, light, hope .. are melted together to restore peace in your soul, like a protective mother who whispers: ".. it's all right, everything's fine ..".

Perhaps it is not exactly a meaning, but ... I should not wonder if I stopped in a glade and saw appeared at the horizon a little peaceful hobbit, who sings it light-hearted, riding his pony .. :-)

Thank you Mr. Oldfield ♥ ♥ ♥
