10 It’s a latitude thing (4.16)
We spent our Ruby Wedding anniversary up at the North Cape of Norway with the mdinight sun... A wonderful landscape in June - but I wouldn't like to spend the winter there. This has a laid-back, jazzy feel - 'til the oompah band kicks in in the middle... With Mary Davies on piano.

You’ve a date to keep another round of drinks to buy whilst that midnight sun still burns
It’s a latitude thing, the higher up you go the clearer now the air
It’s a latitude thing, your clock begins to slow, forget that wear and tear
Eat your fill from life’s endless smorgasbord, don’t let the fantasy end
Keep the thrill till your name is finally called, why go down when you can ascend (Gb9 - G9….G7)

You’re gonna have to live with the ice come winter, so treat it as a long lost friend

So when it’s high in the sky and refusing to fall, you might as well just have a ball..
It’s a latitude thing, forget the cost just throw another down
It’s a latitude thing, we’ll all get lost as we stagger back to town
The harder the life the more need for escape, the sweeter the good times seem
The summer’s the time to take your fancies trapsing across the landscapes of your dreams
