Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Tim Finn

Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody. For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.

This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.

Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).

Tim Finn's, "Made My Day"
The Misheard Lyrics:
I guess it's not serious
...
Oh, bein' a lover
You can't help feelin' fine
Here's is a bottle of vintage wine
...
Hope
Maybe cross in an open embrace
...
Not meaning to sound absurd
But the moral of all that must be:
It's done and I'm glad of it
Let the guilty go free
The Real Lyrics:
I guess it was serious
...
Holding a lover
You can't help feeling
Life is a bottle of vintage wine
...
Holding you close
In an open embrace
...
Not meaning to sound absurd
But the murder of all that
Was me
Is done and I'm glad of it
Let the guilty go free
The Story: Ah, Tim Finn - the brother WITHOUT an ego. Okay, what does 'But the murder of all that was me / Is done and I'm glad of it' mean? As I don't know, I'm going to say my lyrics are better! - Submitted by: Davo
