Scavengers Yard is a tough nut to crack.

Sweet homage to Bernard Cribbens and his hit Gossip Calypso

Scavengers Yard is a tough nut to crack.

That's true!

But I love to deal with his music and the lyrics no matter how long it takes until I get it.
And once you have understood them to some extent, you have often even learned something new.
Your analysis on the forum are very helpful here. Thanks everybody!

Just a tiny take on the lyrics.

It is "the gates" not "the gate".
Promoting’s all about the gates

"The gates" stands here for the outcome (in the sense of number of people that atend the show and the money they made, or Mr. Solomons made particularly)
