This song is about former Xiu Xiu member Cory McCulloch and Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie Stewart being concerned that McCulloch had committed suicide, which he hadn’t. It’s titled after a barbershop in the Los Angeles neighbourhood of Macarthur Park.
[Verse 1]
Your face is down
Alone on your desk
At the end of the city
You were squashed into
There is no one you love
[Chorus]
The quivering heart of Gigantor
The quivering heart of Cory
The quivering heart of Gigantor
The quivering heart of Cory
[Verse 2]
Your hair has gone white
The truck you drive
Could easily crash into another and bigger truck
It will be so long before I know
[Chorus]
The quivering heart of Gigantor
The quivering heart of Cory
The quivering heart of Gigantor
The quivering heart of Cory
[Bridge]
Your harmonium plays a chord
I can hear it and I can feel it
Across all time
And across all pain
[Chorus]
The quivering heart of Gigantor
The quivering heart of Cory
The quivering heart of Gigantor
The quivering heart of Cory
