"Oddfellows Local 151" lyrics
R.E.M. Lyrics
"Oddfellows Local 151"
Oddfellows Local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits to prove a sage, to teach
Peewee gathered up his proof, reached up to scratch his head
Fell down and hit the ground again
Firehouse
Firehouse
Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach?
This boy and girl that gather pearls of wisdom
Falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the rum
Firehouse
Firehouse
Oddfellows Local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach
This boy and girl that gather pearls of wisdom
Falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the 151
Firehouse
Firehouse
Firehouse
Firehouse
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Firehouse

>don't think it was a flop.
In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau said the band had moved on from their past work's escapism and that "their discovery of the outside world has sharpened their sense of humor along with everything else", citing "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" as an "inspirational title".[19] Rolling Stone reviewer David Fricke felt that the album was R.E.M.'s "finest to date", and said that "Document is the sound of R.E.M. on the move".[16]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic said that "where Lifes Rich Pageant sounded a bit like a party record, Document is a fiery statement, and its memorable melodies and riffs are made all the more indelible by its righteous anger."[8]
Rolling Stone went on to include the album in their list of the 100 greatest albums of the 1980s (in 41st place),
and then ranked it number 462 on 2012 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[20]
In 2012, Slant Magazine listed the album at number 17 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s".[21]
