Limbo (Bryan Ferry song)
1988 single by Bryan Ferry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Limbo" is a song by the English singer Bryan Ferry, the former lead vocalist for Roxy Music. It was released as the third and final single from his seventh solo studio album Bête Noire in 1988, and was his twenty-seventh single. The song failed to enjoy as much success as the two previous singles from the album; it peaked at No. 86 on the UK Singles Chart. It also appears in the ill-fated film Big Time, starring Paul Guilfoyle.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
