Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm Indiana Jones, you're that big polystyrene boulder
Is this what you said you'd be
When you fantasised about getting older?
Left lane's slow, the right one's for taking over
Your ghost hogs the middle lane
I said I'd call on thursday but I never
Too much grind not enough rise
I swear I almost broke through last night
[Verse 2]
And there's only so many times I can
Simulation theory myself out of lunch
Pub quiz question seven just a hunch:
Cleopatra lived closer to the France '98 World Cup
Than the construction of the pyramids
You gotta wake up
[Chorus]
You get one life, live it
In the valley of the kings
Motivationally speaking
You got everything you need
You get one life, live it
In the valley of the kings
Motivationally speaking
You got everything you need
[Verse 3]
And I've seen a pyramid
They built one in Stockport
A reincarnated insurance headquarters
Now an Indian restaurant
And the possibilities are endless
If you can imagine it, it can exist
Imagine what the Pharaohs could have done
With a four day working week
And a three-fingered twix
[Verse 4]
Stockport council abandoned their valley of the kings
But I'll never abandon you
God bless those big black squares
We keep in the corner of the room
And remember:
You can do anything
And if they can then you can too
[Chorus]
You get one life, live it
In the valley of the kings
Motivationally speaking
You got everything you need
You get one life, live it
In the valley of the kings
Motivationally speaking
You got everything you need
[Chorus]
You get one life, live it
In the valley of the kings
Motivationally speaking
You got everything you need
You get one life, live it
In the valley of the kings
Motivationally speaking
You got everything you need
You get one life, live it
In the valley of the kings
Motivationally speaking
You got everything you need
You get one life, live it
In the valley of the kings
Motivationally speaking
You got everything you need
