Agree with everyone here . This was/ is a great song. How many babies are born each year with fathers that could say the line in all honesty, 'son I'm 30 I only went with ya mother cause she's dirty'. I've read Shaun Ryder's autobiography. He's dead honest. And hates liars, pretenders. And he's seen all the b.s in the music industry. His brother, former Happy Monday's band member, has mentioned he thought Shaun wrote this line as a dig at him cause he became a parent real young. But no it isn't true. Shaun suggests in his book it's more about himself. Even though he was 28 wen he became a dad. Also from reading about him I've finally discovered 'sack on me' is a Manchester expression for ' giving up'' or ending something. That's makes the lyrics of this song make perfect sense. Sack on me cause I'm a loser who doesn't care ??? Maybe.
