I feel like it is a song about a man getting his heart broken. He loves this girl and he wants to do right by her. He ends up sleeping with her, and then she leaves him.
"You took my love and now you celebrate.
When the morning comes, no I don't believe
In my God, oh my God how could you take her from me?"
He wakes up in the morning and begins losing his faith in god.
"So I told, and the sisters of mercy came
by your school just yesterday.
I never meant for to cause you any pain
I wanna make it better, make it go away."
He tells the sisters what happened and they confront her
My guess is that Magdalene is the catholic school the girl he loves came from, I would also guess this is a story from experience going to a private school in England. I don't know that for sure, but I do know a couple of people who might have written a song like this if they were writing music, based on their experiences.
