Lyrics:

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain

To see for certain, what I thought I knew

Far, far away, someone was weeping

But, the world was sleeping

Any dream will do

I wore my coat (I wore my coat), with golden lining (ah-ah-ah)

Bright colors shining (ah-ah), wonderful and new

And in the East (and in the east), the dawn was breaking (ah-ah-ah)

And the world was waking (ah-ah)

Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light

My golden coat, flew out of sight

The colors faded into darkness

I was left alone

May I return (may I return), to the beginning (ah-ah-ah)

The light is dimming (ah-ah) and the dream is too

The world and I (the world and I), we are still waiting (ah-ah-ah)

Still hesitating (ah-ah)

Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light

My golden coat flew out of sight

The colors faded into darkness

I was left alone

May I return (may I return), to the beginning (ah-ah-ah)

The light is dimming (ah-ah) and the dream is too

The world and I (the world and I), we are still waiting (ah-ah-ah)

Still hesitating

Any dream will do

Songwriter:

Any dream will do

(Any dream, any dream, any dream)

Any dream will do

(Any dream, any dream, any dream)

Any dream will do

(Any dream, any dream, any dream)

Any dream will do

Jason Donovan

Jason Donovan performs at Beaulieu in Hampshire, UK, on 28th May 1990, on the Radio One Roadshow 'Teddy Bears Picnic' with DJ's Mike Read, Simon Mayo and Jakki Brambles. The Roadshow had an open top double-decker bus, which he sang from.

Advertising in the music trade press, this week in 1989.

Context follows...

"Be free with your love" was Spandau Ballet's big comeback single, a big and breezy and brassy pop song. Lyric was a bit naff, Tony Hadley's voice rocked, and the instrumental break was awesome. Didn't quite make the top 40, and that's the last we heard of Spandau Ballet.

Jason Donovan introduced himself to Canadian programmers in the pages of RPM. "Too many broken hearts" remains the ultimate 1989 record, squealing guitars and the S-A-W drum pattern.

"The best reason to play Jason Donovan is because he's exceptional." Looking back on his career: yeah, the lad's done good.

Choices was the singles collection from the Blow Monkeys. Doctor Robert and his backing band came through the sophistipop scene, and never quite hit the top tier of fame like Tears For Fears and The Eurythmics did.

The band combined sharp social commentary with funky pop grooves, veering towards dance music at this late stage in their career. Dr Robert was always a left-wing critic, but edged his barbs with more wit and humour than certain Paul Wellers we could mention.

Lead single from this greatest hits album was "Choice?", a cracking dance groove with vocals from Sylvia Tella, and a three-minute deconstruction of R D Laing's "Public Choice" bullshit theory. (Or of the Section 28 attempt to legalise homophobia, as contemporaneous reports had it. Or both.)

"That's the way", an attempt at a comeback for Katrina and the Waves. They'd had a big hit with "Walking on sunshine" four summers ago, and been ever-present on radio with songs like "Sun street" and "Do you want crying".

But a second signature hit had evaded the group. Would this be the breakhrough they craved? And if it was, should they have released it a month earlier when it was still sunny outside?

Katrina and the Waves continued to plug away, to diminishing returns. They next crossed the public radar in early 1997, when they turned up amongst the has-beens and never-weres competing for the Eurovision Song Contest prize... but that's another story.

Kylie Minogue & Jason Donovan

I forgot I owned the US edition of Kylie's Enjoy Yourself with the bonus track Especially for You with Jason Donovan.

Scott and Charlene get married in Neighbours. TV Week, June 1987.

The fact that in Jason Donovan makes a cameo in the bbc ghosts comic relief special is ironic when you realise that bbc ghosts deals with sibling rivalry and Jason was in a musical that featured sibling rivalry. Also both bbc ghosts and Joseph and the amazing technicolour dreamcoat have the jealous siblings destroying their sister’s/brother’s fancy clothes.
