Bête Noire is the seventh solo studio album by the English singer Bryan Ferry. The album was released in November 1987 on Virgin Records in the United Kingdom and Reprise Records in the United States. The album was a commercial and critical success, peaking at Nº 9 in
the UK and was certified Gold by the BPI.
The first single, "The Right
Stuff" (a collaboration with
Johnny Marr and is adapted from the Smiths' instrumental B-side "Money Changes Everything") was the
album's only top 40 hit in the UK, peaking at Nº 37. The second single, "Kiss and Tell", narrowly missed the UK top 40, but made the
U.S. top 40 (becoming Ferry's only solo single to chart in the U.S. Top 40).
The song also appeared in the film Bright
Lights, Big City. The third and
final single, "Limbo", peaked at Nº 86 in the UK. The promotional
video for the single "Kiss and Tell" features the models Denice Lewis (who is also featured on the single's cover photograph), Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies.
Ten cents a dance
It's the only price to pay
Why give 'em more
When it's only love for sale?
Adam and Eve
It's the oldest game in town
Just a one way street
To a faded magazine
Kiss and tell
Money talks it never lies
Kiss and tell
Give and take eye for an eye
Fever the heat of the
night
Dreamer stealer of sighs
One public face
In a private limousine
Flash photograph
It's the only light you see
No secret life
There's no secret you can steel
Your lips are moving
But I will never know
What they mean
Kiss and tell
Money talks and love
it burns
Kiss and tell
Give and take we live and learn
Kiss and tell
We never lie
Eye for an eye
Blood on a nail
Kiss me again.
