Saints & Sinners is a 1992 album, released by the Canadian glam metal band of the same name. "Walk That Walk", "We Belong" and "Takin' My Chances" were released as singles. The album was produced by Aldo Nova.
Saints and Sinners is an American drama series that aired on NBC during the 1962-63 television season. The program starred Nick Adams as newspaper reporter Nick Alexander. Saints and Sinners was created by Adrian Spies, who worked as a journalist before becoming a screenwriter.
The character of Nick Alexander was first featured in The Dick Powell Show episode "Savage Sunday". The series showed New York City life through the eyes of the staff of a fictional newspaper, The New York Bulletin. The episodes' storylines had adult themes that featured moral dilemmas.
John Larkin co-starred as Nick's mentor, newspaper editor Mark Grainger. The series also starred Richard Erdman as Kluge, the staff photographer and office philosopher, and Robert F. Simon as copy editor Dave Tabak.
Many stars and future stars had guest roles on the show. One episode featured the final screen appearance of Paul Muni, one of the most esteemed actors in the history of Broadway and Hollywood.
Pistol-whipping or buffaloing is the act of using a handgun as a blunt weapon, wielding it as if it were a club or baton. "Pistol-whipping" and "to pistol-whip" were reported as "new words" of American speech in 1955, with cited usages from the 1940s. However, both the term and the practice trace back to the Wild West of the 19th century.
Pistol-whipping should not be confused with butt-stroking, a close combat military discipline using the rifle.
Paul Wellman notes that clubbing an opponent with the butt of a gun held by its barrel, as seen in some Westerns, is problematic. First, guns are designed for shooting, not as a club. Second, the danger of an unintentional discharge could fatally wound the "clubber". Additionally, many handguns, specifically revolvers, lack sufficient structural strength(Particularly black powder cap and ball era revolvers). Striking a target in this manner could cause damage to the weapon. Finally, rotating a gun so that it can be held by its barrel takes extra time. The loss of time may be crucial during a fight. Instead, pistol-whipping should be done with the gun held in an ordinary manner, hitting the target with an overhand strike from either the long, heavy barrel of the gun or the side of the gun in the area of the cylinder. It was a fairly common way to incapacitate a man (assisted by the heavy weight of the handguns of the day), and was known as "buffaloing", with the verb form being "to buffalo". This form of pistol-whipping with an 1860s-style revolver was tested on the Spike TV television show Deadliest Warrior. The testers showed that using the long barrel of a Colt revolver in a whipping motion produced enough force to fracture a skull and could potentially kill a man with a single blow.
Goodnight, sweet girl
Goodnight
You were the love of my life
You were the one
How much for love
And how much more
My heart is still burning
For you
I ruined the carnival
I ruined the carnival
What should I do?
I would love you
I would love you
Were you the devil herself
What should I do?
What should I do?
Without a place
And with a place to rest
I burn myself
Away
Now without you
There won't be
A new Christmas Day
For me
I ruined the carnival
I ruined the carnival
What should I do?
I would love you
I would love you
Were you the devil herself
What should I do?
What should I do?
May you be in heaven
Half an hour before
The devil knows
You're dead
You were my harmony garden
In this frozen forest
The harmony garden
For a rest
My heart is black
Black as a stone
And the stone is on fire
For you
I ruined the carnival
I ruined the carnival
What should I do?
I would love you
I would love you
Were you the devil herself
What should I do?
What should I do?
