１００５：３連休は最後のネットラジオを満喫

寒さはちょっと穏やかになったが、外はまだひんやりする。西日のさすオフィスで出張前の準備中だ。

守秘義務があるので具体のことは書けないが、現地でかなりシリアスな問題が急浮上している。その実態を再渡航直ぐ調査する必要がある。去年からうすうす入っていた事実なのだが。地下水屋さんは課題を隠蔽する体質があるから問題だ。山師はやましいことがあると沈黙する性質があるんだね。今は資料を収集している。イアン・カルダーの同僚でＤｆＩＤから来ていたチルトン博士の論文（８４年）から入るとしよう。カルダーは一昨年死去したが、チルトン氏はまだ健在だ。

ブロードバンドが整備されていないアフリカでは無理なネットラジオをエンジョイしている。

お馴染み、ＮＪのedgewater。

他にも無数にあるが、素敵な選曲と時どき入るＣＭとかＣＮＮラジオのニュースがあり他のステイションを圧倒している。

いい曲ばっかりだけれど、さっき聞いたThe Eaglesは良かった。ドラマチックな詩だし、ハーモニーが最高だ。加州でドライブっていう感じだね。詩がいいので、ここに記録しておく。

そうだ、また出張前に蔦谷でＣＤを沢山仕入れておこう。

Lyin' Eyes

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the nice anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She rushes to his arms,
They fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide you lyin' eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool

My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
