Song title and lyrical meaning
The songs title is an acronym for either She Walks Like A Bearded Rainbow.[5] or She Was Like A Bearded Rainbow.[6]
The songs lyrics talk of a woman who constantly comes and goes out of a relationship with the narrator("coming to me in the morning, leaving me at night") and that even though she may appear to be perfect she is flawed("You've got that pure feel, such good responses, you've got that rainbow feel, but the rainbow has a beard").
