The Wedding Present are not really a Manchester band - Dave Gedge is from Leeds and while he grew up on the wrong side of the border he returned to West Yorkshire - and and it is from West Yorkshire that he gets the expression Brassneck which is a term used to describe brazen people around here.
One might say "That Peter has a real brassneck doing that." It is not often used in a positive way - to be a brassneck is not considered a good thing - but it does mean confident or perhaps aggressively confident perhaps. Simon Arimitage - the West Yorkshire poet - has a poem called Brassneck about pick pocket thieves which illustrates the meaning of the term.
Also - It is all A, D and G and dead easy to play :)
Dave Gedge grew up in Middleton, Manchester and is a Man Utd fan. He was however born in Leeds and went to Leeds Uni (Maths) where he formed The Lost Pandas and then The Wedding Present.
The song is not about Sally though I suspect. That came later
