Cover art for Valley Boy lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

I don\'t think this is anything to do with the EU. It\'s about Nicky himself and how he felt he\'d become disconnected from his Valley Boy roots after years of endless touring. He\'s the one whose idle and out of touch in Europe, watching the BBC and surviving on Marks and Spencer sandwiches, desperate to just go home. All of his dreams of being a massively sucessful rock star have come true, but only after the nightmare of losing Richey. And now he\'s got nothing left to say, and everything is the same, day after day after day. So was any of it worth it?
