The Carpettes - small wonder

It makes me feel old when i look back for songs to post in the blog and come across something from 1978 and think "I bought that when it was released." If i remember correctly I'd not heard the record before buying it but thought the cover looked intriguing. Fortunately the music contained within was excellent.
  From Tyne And Wear in the north east of England, The Carpettes were formed (in 1977) by 3 members of a band called Brown Sugar (as the name suggests they were influenced by The Rolling Stones). A couple of singles on the Small Wonder label were followed by a move to Beggars Banquet for 3 more singles and a couple of albums. Despite splitting in the summer of 1981 they've been back in one form or another since 1996. The record i bought all those years ago was named after their record company, this is Small Wonder?

I don`t need record companies that wanna rule me.

All of them think so obscene

But I don`t care about publicity

I just don`t care for your generosity.

They give you the bright idea to be a star
You`ll never make it, you`ll never go far
They say a good musician gone to waste
I tell you it`s just a stupid taste

You talk about popularity

D`ya think that it`s a wise move

The useless generation knows nothing , so what does it prove?

I can tell you straight to your face

Small Wonder the saviour of the human race yeah!
