This song is the B side of the 45 "When I Need You". I used to play it over and over again as a child. Nothing like a saint you are. Written by Danny O'Keefe Magdalena sits in her chair Speaking on the mass She talks in splicing splinters She laughs like breaking glass She says that she would have me spirit her away Stealing all of my images 'Til there's nothin' left to say Chorus: Oh, Magdalena Nothing like the saint you are Your love is like a razor My heart is just a scar Oh, Magdalena Nothing like the saint you are She tells me that she wants me Then she tells me not to bother She tells me that I couldn't hold A candle to her father She knows that she's got me When I start to rave about And she'll just smile and flash her eyes And blow the candle out Chorus: Oh, Magdalena Oh, ho, ho, Magdalena Nothing like the saint you are Magdalena lying bare Could make a dancer stumble Make a preacher bite his tongue And leave him with a mumble And if you think I'm crazy, babe Or that I'm kidding you Just pay your dues and lose your blues And she gets her tongue in you Chorus: Oh, Magdalena Nothing like the saint you are Your love is like a razor My heart is just a scar Oh, Magdalena Nothing like the saint you are Well I can't be forgotten And I can't be ignored You find me with my poems And my songs But if upon your journey you're returning to L.A. Won't you take this little red-haired girl along? Chorus: Oh, Magdalena Nothing like a saint you are Your love is like a razor My heart is just a scar Oh, Magdalena Nothing like a saint you are
