So, this lyrics quiz is all about colours that are either within the lyric supplied, the title, or the artist. They all charted on the ARIA charts during the 90s, so hopefully some of them are hard enough to keep this going for a bit. I will update this some time tomorrow evening:

1) Those weak words you whispered, were nothing but lies - Blue - LeAnn RImes
2) To act like you're mine, in the light and the dark - If You Love Me - Brownstone
3) Your skin, oh, yeah, your skin and bones - Yellow - Coldplay
4) And thirdly, the way she dyed her hair bronze fitted her superbly - I Like - Montell Jordan
5) Got any salmon...sorted - Ebeneezer Goode - The Shamen
6) Everybody knows I'm her man, I'm not your senorita - Raspberry Swirl - Tori Amos
7) I got a lemon bass that plays in apricot time - Apple Eyes - Swoop
8 ) Intelligent, yes, she gentle and irie - Informer - Snow
9) These feet of clay keep warm inside - Hole Hearted - Extreme
10) Make the rules, then break them all 'cause you are the best - Cream - Prince
11) Take heed 'cause I'm a lyrical poet - Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice
12) You know your green from your red - Steam - Peter Gabriel
13) Once was a truth that thought it could lie - Mountain - Chocolate Starfish
14) See the west wind move like a lover so - Fields of Gold - Sting
15) Nothing seems to bother, wish I had a clue - Abuse Me - Silverchair
16) A scarlet starlet and she's in my bed - Otherside - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
17) And the dead lay in pools of maroon below - Jeremy - Pearl Jam
18) But my wishes are wasted, my wishes are spent - Burnt Sienna - Margaret Urlich
19) Will you build an emerald city with these grains of sand? - I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) - Meatloaf
20) I never dream that my summertime flame could show me - Fallin' In Love - La Bouche

If they are correct that is one very impressive effort Spargo.

Covid must have sharpened your memory! Hope you are feeling better.

Cheers, mate. It’s definitely stuffed my sleep pattern up - thus the time I posted.
There’s a couple more that were familiar but I couldn’t quite nail.

I can gift at least one by saying the colours remaining in the answers are - brown, chocolate, sienna and snow. You can see the other two - bronze and flame.
