Lyrics:
Extra clever earthbound spirit
Ghost in the form of a mongoose
And I have hands and I have feet
I'll never die, I am a freak
Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall
I know, I might be small but I am a freak
Thou wilt never know what I am
I am the fifth dimension and I will split the atom
And if you see me, you're paralyzed
Pillar of salt, you're mummified
Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall
I know, I might be small but I am the eighth wonder
And I was born 1852
And I was born in India
And I shall haunt like the Buggane
With such weird noise and clanking chains
Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall
I know, I might be small but I am a freak
I say "vanished" to underground
Jim, let me go, I watch like hell
And I have hands, and I have feet
I'll never die, I am a freak
Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall
I know, I might be small, but I am the eighth wonder
Eighth wonder of the world
You'll never get to see
What in the name of god can I be?

@cheesewizard3965 5 лет назад

Dreq Magikarp strangely enough, Gef seemed to do both good and bad things. Apparently, despite the fact he said things like “I could kill you all if I wanted,” and threw pebbles at the windows at night, he was also very helpful. He woke the family up when they overslept, and put out the stove when they forgot to. When they had mice, Gef took the role of a cat and became a mouser for them. It seems as if, in the unlikely event he’s real, that he wanted to scare people more so than seriously hurt anybody. To the point where, according to Wikipedia, when he hunted mice, “he preferred to scare them rather than kill them.“ First conclusion? Hoax. Second conclusion? Fairfolk. Third conclusion? Trickster god.

@barbpaq 5 лет назад

@@XAtTheBusStopX it's possible. One of the investigators that came out to the house had a white cat jump in his lap that he started petting. Noone else could see it. Also, Jim saw a larger than Gef sized animal outside the house. When he went in to tell his wife about it, Gef said, 'Jim that was me.' So he could shape shift. So it's possible but not conclusive that the new neighbor killed Gef while under the form of another similar type critter.

I know this song is about a cryptid n shit but to me it feels almost like it’s about the pride of *being* a freak in the eyes of society, proclaiming your existence to the world, yet feeling small and alone in standing against it. Even though you’re learning to love yourself the way society treats you still colors the way you feel about yourself. Sometimes being a freak feels good and fun, sometimes it’s paralyzing. I.E. sometimes the chorus ends with “i am a freak” and sometimes it ends with “i am the eighth wonder” as these feelings fluctuate. All the weird shit about “i’m a mongoose and i have hands and feet” feel pretty aligned with gen z queer humour. Anyways this was my queer reading of Lemon Demon’s Eighth Wonder

The guy who moved into the house in 1947 after the Irvings left shot Gef dead. Even if he wasn't dead, it would still be another thirty-nine years until Neil was born, and then another twenty-three after that until Neil made this song. Besides that, Gef would still probably be in the Isle of Man to this day. Unless Neil could travel over there, find him, and bring him back to Massachusetts, I don't see how Gef could be there to sing this. Gef would've probably never let anyone record his voice anyway, so it's a moot point.

Out of all of Neil’s songs, I think that this is the most artistic. Almost every other song has some sort of comedic ridiculousness to it, but this one seems more profound in nature. The lyrics are provocative rather than shocking or comedic, and this music video reflects the more poetic and artistic tone the song has.

@weewoohonk 3 года назад

Ok.. so.. idk if this was a lil unintentional thing in the audio, or an actual reference, BUT.. from 3:20 to 3:24 you can hear a long beep-like thing, (its very faint but if you turn up the volume you might be able to hear it) apparently i heard that if you hear a long beep, its basically a spirit trying to 'communticate' with you, which is a pretty cool add in based off the fact that this song IS about a spirit of some kind :]] EDIT : it actually starts at 3:21 , my bad :))

Fun fact, while the plural for goose is geese, the same does not hold true for mongoose, in which the plural is mongooses. I apologize for correcting you, I don't like the plural myself, I think it's an annoying little quirk of the English language

@lasagnalevi9931 4 года назад

Just found out this song was based off a ghost story. In England in the 1920s-1930s there was this family who heard scratching in there walls. They put mouse traps in it but the scratching continued. It also made noises. If the family said a name of an animal, it would imitate the call. Soon one of them taught it nursery rhymes and it soon spoke fluent English. The thing said it was a man who died in the 1850s. His name was Geff and he took the form of a mongoose. Don’t remember the rest of the story, just thought that was cool.
