Shizuo (written: 静夫, 静雄, 静男 or 鎮雄) is a masculine Japanese given name. Notable people with the name include:
Shizuo (born 14 August 1973 in Wehr, Germany, died 15 May 2011) was the Digital Hardcore Recordings manifestation of David Hammer, with occasional vocals and an animated stage show by Annika Trost.
Originally an Engineer for Atari Teenage Riot in early 90s, Shizuo released The album Shizuo Vs. Shizor in 1997, which wowed critics with its giddy, crazy blend of punk rock electronics. During the popularity with Shizuo's music, David also started a band with Annika and Razi Barakat called Give Up (Razi had earlier been featured on The Cramps cover song "New Kick"and is also known as Boy from Brazil, and Pharoah Chromium when performing as the lead singer of Golden showers and the Assassinations), but the band later broke up after the 1997 DHR tour due to a serious disagreement with creative differences, which led to David attacking Razi half way through their set. Hammer's last release under the Shizuo alias was with the self released vinyl Shizuo No.1 in 2000. He was last seen playing guitar in a Berlin based band called The Nothings, and Collaborating with the German experimental music band Doc Schoko. Trost now performs solo or with Cobra Killer.
[Chorus]I come and go like a boomerang,
Set me free and ill come back again.
To and fro like a freight train,
Stop and lend yo time again.
Verse 1
I'm dark in a place,
stuck in outer space,
talkin to my friends they dont know what i say.
I'm in the ocean duck divin the waves,
I'm on a mountain been climbin for days.
"The top of the world is just up the way",
said the blind man wavin the sage.
Chapter 5, 29th page
Time ain't the only thing movin today.
I gotta go, gotta get away,
Let the sunset just set away.
On the deck tryin to catch a wave,
some girl in a dress will say,
"Please don't leave me" [x2]
[chorus]
Verse 2
Stop and go, is this rock and roll?
Soul brotha on the yellow brick road.
Dressed up ready to go,
with my hair messed up in some regular clothes.
Guess what, i'm strikin a pose,
you could make a statue i suppose.
Lights, camera, then i froze,
Thoughts of you and my head arose.
She loves me like a pedal on a rose,
I love alot, last pedal on the floor.
On the deck tryin to catch a wave,
some girl in a dress will say,
"Please don't leave me" [x2]
[chorus]
woah oh, oh, oh, ooh
Verse 3
Believe me this time i'm leavin,
for a little bit longer than a weekend.
And when you see me ill be rockin,
on yo tv, i know your watchin.
And ill be thinking of you often,
put the top down and see a rose blossom.
On the deck tryin to catch a wave,
some girl in a dress will say,
"Please don't leave me" [x2]
