Average song rating The melodiousness, guitar solo and string section are impressing me much here. Dmitry Murashev April 24, 2008
Average song rating From 1962's "P.S. I Love You" Paul McCartney's melodic ballads have been a huge chunk of his work, and it is interesting to note how in the 1980's he seems to go great lengths to create a greater variety in their sounds ("Waterfalls", "Somebody Who Cares", "Footprints", "Distractions"). This is an exotic melody that he almost whispers, giving the song an eerie sound. This ain't "Let it Be", but it is an interesting and appealing change of pace. Bruce Beatlefan December 29, 2006

Lyrics

What Is This Thing In Life That Persuades Me To Spend
Time Away From You?
If You Can Answer This You Can Have The Moon.
This Is The Place To Be, Anyway You Can See
There's A Lovely View.
Why Are There Always So Many Other Things To Do?
Distractions, Like Butterflies Are Buzzing 'Round My Head,
When I'm Alone I Think Of You
And The Life We'd Lead If We Could Only Be Free
From These Distractions.

The Postman's At The Door
While The Telephone Rings On The Kitchen Wall,
Pretend We're Not At Home And They'll Disappear.
I Want To Be With You, Tell Me What I Can Do,
Nothing Is Too Small
Away From All This Jazz We Could Do Anything At All.
Distractions, Like Butterflies Are Buzzing 'Round My Head.
When I'm Alone I Think Of You
And The Things We'd Do If We Could Only Be Through
With These Distractions.
I'll Fond The Peaceful Place Far A Way From The Noise Of A Busy
Day
Where We Can Spend Our Nights Counting Shooting Stars,
Distractions, Like Butterflies Are Buzzing 'Round My Head.
When I'm Alone I Think Of You
And The Things We'd Do If We Could Only Be Through
With These Distractions, Like Butterflies They're
Buzzing 'Round My Head When I'm Alone I Think Of You
And The Life We'd Lead If We Could Only Be Free
From These Distractions.
