Manchester Orchestra – The Only One Lyrics 16 years ago
I am just going to comment of the "son of a pastor I know who does the things I do." Pastor's kids, or PKs in the Christian community have a reputation of rebelling from God. Andy has obviously not gone away from God, and most of his lyrics are inspired by God in some way. I think he might be making a point that is opposite of what it seems to most readers. I think he's saying that most pastor's kids are away from God, and he is not. Just an idea.

He says he is the son of a bastard, meaning his dad is the bastard, and he knows his dad. Maybe he's saying it's good / ironic that his dad didn't turn out like his grandpa and abandon the family?
