Small Faces (1996) is a Scottish film directed by Gillies MacKinnon about gangs, specifically the Tongs, in 1960s Glasgow. It stars Iain Robertson, Joseph McFadden, Steven Duffy, Kevin McKidd, Laura Fraser, Mark McConnochie, Clare Higgins, Garry Sweeney, Colin McCredie and Alastair Galbraith.
The film was produced in 1995 by Skyline Productions in association with the BBC Film Fund and subsequently released in 1996 and distributed by Pathé - a division of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. The film received a BBFC Certificate of 15 (intended for audiences aged 15 and over) within the United Kingdom. Some[who?] argued that because of the high levels of violence and adult themes portrayed in this film, an 18 Certificate would have been more suitable.
The film was shot on location at various districts in Glasgow, including Darnley, Sighthill, Partick, Merrylee and Bishopbriggs. The piece won the title of 'Best British Film' at the Edinburgh Film Festival.

Small Faces documentary
Well she was a lady of charm
A prisoner of songs unsung
She was just a face that took
All her groovin' on his guitar
Hot cars, strange clothes, any ways your mind goes
Wham team, thank you mam
We'll boogie till the rooster crows
Oh yeah
We lived this way for so long
You said babe, never got it on
Oh no no no
Surprise surprise, I thought you ought to know
He chucked her out the door
Without a cent (cent, cent)
Papa said grab your share but don't give a bad smell
Wham team god damn the devil planks
And wants some more yeah yeah
Sha la la la Shang a dorang shang a lang lang
Shang a lang mama, Sing it mama
Say it yes yes
Close your breath and hold your eyes
Turn the corner, a surprise, and there you are
Well, Id like to know why those old freaks
While walkin' through their moves
He seeks to keep you in your stick hole
And bash away your soul...surprise
