Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Lindisfarne

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!).

Lindisfarne's, "Fog On The Tyne"
The Misheard Lyrics:
The clock on the time
Is all mine, all mine.
The Real Lyrics:
The fog on the tyne
Is all mine, all mine.
The Story: My ex-husband and his friend came in singing this at 12 midnight once in the 80's. I had to get them to repeat it, as I didn't believe they could get it so wrong. - Submitted by: Melanie Turner
Lindisfarne's, "Fog On The Tyne"
The Misheard Lyrics:
The fog on the tane
Is our main, our main.
The Real Lyrics:
The fog on the tyne
Is all mine, all mine.
The Story: I have no idea what I thought a "tane" was. But I thought that by "Our Main" they meant it was their "main thing" like something they used a lot. In my defense: this song *is* sung with a strong accent. - Submitted by: Mjn Seifer
