"Limbo" is a song by Bryan Ferry, the former lead vocalist for Roxy Music. It was released as the third and final single from his seventh album Bête Noire in 1988, being Ferry's twenty-seventh single. The song failed to enjoy as much success as the two previous singles from the album. The song peaked at number 86 on the UK Singles Chart. It also appears in the ill-fated film Big Time, starring Paul Guilfoyle.
The song, alike all the other single's released from the album ("The Right Stuff", and "Kiss and Tell"), it features The Smiths' lead guitarist, Johnny Marr.
The promotional video for the song was directed by style and fashion guru Michael Roberts, a longtime friend of Ferry's.
