lyrics

at Laugavegur 18, there is a nightly revue
we go there after it’s dark (around a quarter-to-two)
on every table: a chess board and glasses of beer
and to the side the house band are ringing in the new year

at Laugavegur 18, they sell old books downstairs:
catalogue raisoneé you cannot find anywhere
I pick up something of Laxness’ I’ve never tried
and settle down in a chair of Scandianvian design

at Laugavegur 18, I spend an evening with you
you don’t play chess very well - and I don’t read much, it’s true
are we distracted by love or unironically kitschy?
who cares; it’s Christmas; we’re here; buy us a drink and then kiss me!
