Tekst piosenki 'Live Coal' wykonawcy Melanie Safka

When I was young I broke every rule
'Cause the were made for the criminal and the fool, oh
I wasn't one of those
I had some wild oats to sow
I was a live coal
Don't kill the live coal

Hey now, seems like everywhere I go
Some joker is trying to kill the live coal
Oh, don't be one of those
I have some wild oats to sow
I am a live, alive'o

Oh baby, don't kill the live coal
I said, oh, oh, oh, don't kill the live coal
I said oh, oh. Oh, don't be one of those
Oh baby, don't kill the live coal
I said don't kill it, don't kill it
Don't kill the live coal
Don't kill it, don't kill it
Don't kill the live coal

New ones, old ones, I've seen 'em blow
Fan the embers watch the lives ones glow
We've such a long way to go
So from the heart of my soul
Don't kill the love coal

Oh no, don't kill the live coal
I said, oh, oh, oh don't be one of those, oh no
I said oh, oh, oh, don't kill the live coal
I said don't kill it, don't kill it
Don't kill the live coal
Don't kill it, don't kill it
Don't kill the live coal
Oh, oh, oh, don't be one of those
Oh, oh, oh, don't be one of those

When I was young I broke every rule
'Cause the were made for the criminal and the fool
Oh no, I wasn't one of those
I had some wild oats to sow
I am alive alive'o

Oh yeah, oh baby, don't kill the live coal, oh no
I say, oh, oh, oh, don't kill the live coal
I say, oh, oh, oh, don't kill the live coal
I said don't kill it, don't kill it
Don't kill the live coal
Don't kill it, don't kill it
Don't kill the live coal
Oh, oh, oh, don't be one of those, oh no
Oh, oh, oh, don't kill the live coal
