Cape

A cape is a sleeveless outer garment, which drapes the wearer's back, arms and chest, and fastens at the neck.

History

Capes were common in medieval Europe, especially when combined with a hood in the chaperon, and have had periodic returns to fashion, for example, in nineteenth-century Europe. Roman Catholic clergy wear a type of cape known as a ferraiolo, which is worn for formal events outside of a liturgical context. The cope is a liturgical vestment in the form of a cape. Capes are often highly decorated with elaborate embroidery. Capes remain in regular use as rain wear in various military units and police forces, for example in France. A gas cape was a voluminous military garment designed to give rain protection to someone wearing the bulky gas masks used in twentieth century wars.

Semantic distinction

In fashion, the word “cape” usually refers to a shorter garment and “cloak” to a full-length version of the different types of garment, though the two terms are sometimes used synonymously for full-length coverings. The fashion cape does not cover the front to any appreciable degree. In raingear, a cape is usually a long and roomy protective garment worn to keep one dry in the rain.

    Intro:
    Tic tac goes the clock again
    Tic tac goes the clock
    Tic tac goes the clock again
    Beating in my head like a big drum
    Verse 1:
    Everyday when you call me up
    I know that you want some
    But I won’t give until I get - no
    You’ve gotta learn how to take your time
    You walk away satisfied
    And my satisfaction you forget – yeah
    So when the lights go out
    Just take it slow
    We ain’t got no place that we gotta go
    Chorus:
    ‘Cause we got all the time in the world
    We got all the time in the world
    So/now don’t you rush it (babe)
    everytime you touch it (yeah)
    We got all the time in the world
    Verse 2:
    So when you learn how to treat me right
    You’re gonna get it every night
    Just you remember what I said
    You gotta learn how to take your time
    and walk away satisfied
    my satisfaction you forget
    So when the lights go out
    Just take it slow
    We aint got no place that we gotta go
    Chorus:
    Bridge:
    Tic tac goes the clock again
    Beating in my head like a big drum
    You’re too fast I want it to last
    But you can never relax when you give me some
    Now what’s that is it time to quit again
    Tell me how it was when you wake up
    Oh no here we go again
    You better chill out cause I had enough
    So when the lights go out
    Just take it slow
    We aint got no place that we gotta go
    Chorus out….
