transpose column headers to rows in postgresql

I have a view which looks like this

          value1count     value2count value3count
          ----------------------------------------
             25              35          55

I need to transpose the column header into rows and so I need it to look like

          Values              Count
         -----------------------------
           value1count         25
           value2count         35
           value3count         55

I can do this by selecting individual column names as first column and data as second column and then do a union of the same for all columns.

Is there a better way to do this? I am using PosgreSQL 8.1 and so don't have pivot operators to work with.

Thanks for your response in advance.
