Anybody know 'em?

Here is my attemp, I' confident about most of it there are a few words I am unsure of I will put ( ) with alternate words in it if I have any. Definitely one of my favorite BT songs they played it the last time they were here in Salt Lake and it was awesome, I'm a huge sucker for the accapella breakdown!

 

Big Black Bird

Heave ho the captains gold (goal) , The last glass eye that the gypsy’s stole           

(Happy for it)(no guess) just taking a stroll, Through the tall brown grass as the river unfolds

Random Clans gather on the strand (Sand), Shakin their leaves and stomping in the sand

Big black bird hanging in the sky , Stern eyed (night) lover with a rabbit in his eye, heave ho

Heave Ho the captains goal (gold)

The broke down boat sitting quiet in the shoals

Black eye child rising silent from the coals, as the sun goes down and the night unfolds

Random clans gather on the strand

Shakin their leaves and stomping in the sand

Big black bird hanging in the sky, a stern eyed (night) lover with a rabbit in his eye.

Heave ho

Round and round and round it goes big black bird just  spinning in the coals

Round and round and round it goes where he’s gonna stop aint no body knows

Ooooh oooooh

Round and round and round it goes big black bird just  spinning in the coals

Round and round and round it goes where he’s gonna stop aint no body knows

Round and round and round it goes big black bird just  spinning in the coals

Round and round and round it goes where he’s gonna stop aint no body knows

Round and Round and Round and

Round and Round and Round and .........
