First full album proper after the God’s Foot wrangle, recorded within days and like 1997’s Please Do Not Disturb an emotionally raw release.

Where Please Do Not Disturb concentrated on the personal introspection issues surrounding depression, Bed’s themes expand to outward bursts of anger and frustration.

Live It Up, is either a commentary on the futility and temporary nature of success / happiness or a direct personal wish for karma to bring down the undeserving.
Let’s Blow It All throws caution to the wind and as the title suggests implores the listener to let it all go with little thought for tomorrow and in one of many fans’ favourite lyrics to “buy guitars for all the kids”.

And there is still the despair of Running Out:

"You think of things that should have never happened, You think of all the things that never will."

Lacking in any obvious radio-friendly tunes (although Bad Day should have been one) Bed was Juliana’s most uncompromising album to date.
