The Mind Of Valerie is a song depicting the effect of striking during an industrial dispute and the effect it has on families of the workers.
It attempts to show the self-sacrifice of the family and how hard it is to show solidarity when debt is knocking at the door.

Well her tongue's so sharp I swear it cut me in two
But on the other hand
When I lay in her arms she has the power to comfort and soothe

Chorus:
Striking has been hard, on the family
And worry's never far, from the mind of Valerie
Now listen, here we go, we're rowing again
Well, the kids need shoes so once again we'll have to go without meat
But that is nothing new
And our holiday money we saved, will soon deplete

Chorus:
Striking has been hard, on the family
And worry's never far, from the mind of Valerie
Now listen, here we go, we're rowing again
Valerie: The strain's on us both
Valerie: But she still gives me strength
Valerie: Sometimes I jump down her throat
Valerie: But I understand, the faith I know she has in me
Is the faith that leads to victory
Well the kids want everything they see on T.V
Well, you know what they're like
But it's hard to explain that money don't grow on trees
Well at least not on mine
Chorus:
And it's been hard, hard on the family
And worry's never far, far from the mind of Valerie
Now listen, here we go, we're rowing again
