Something involving gold? But Some Girls, YGTS and Brown Sugar don't fit.

Are you ready for the gilded cage?
Everything's turning to gold?

"Churning with trash
I make so much money
But I spend it so fast."

There seems to be some connection with Olly's clue - trash/rubbish, money/gold.

I was looking at that one too, Harlem Shuffler.
The East River truckers could be delivering, too.

In a lot of cryptic crosswords words like "processed" mean we're looking at some kind of anagram,
and have to rearrange the letters, but ... hm

Delivering processed rubbish for the aureate and undesired results, which are ours and yours, of a charger.

Also, churning/processing perhaps.

A long shot:

All this violent chatter's just got me bored (from Don't wanna go home).

Bored, as being the undesired result of a charger (war horse).
And chatter as being some kind of rubbish (don't know about it being processed or deliverded).

Insecure, but it seems rather appropriate.

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

A charger might be a warhorse, or a battery charger, or a big platter (Some Girls again?) Or just somebody charging you, or maybe the elephant in the bedroom... My brain hurts.

A charger is a big platter? Live and learn!
It could be someone with a credit card as well.
Or just a plain old horse, whose unwanted results could be fertilizer (back to When the Whip Comes Down)
or unplanned offspring (as in Some Girls). Where is the "I've lost my marbles" smiley spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

Charger can be a muscle car...maybe even a limousine?

A stretch here:

Make a million for the Texans, twenty dollar me
Yes, I want a gold ring, riding in a limousine
I'm working so hard, I'm working for the company
I'm working so hard to keep you in the luxury

I'm really horrible at this...

Smiling thinking about Olly kicking back watching the international brainstorming he has created with this puzzle. This one hurt my brain just reading it, I'm content knowing the iorr brain trust is hard at work solving it and will patiently wait for the solution. Good luck all.

So if rubbish = garbage, processed garbage could be "a barge". Delivering a barge for the aureate results - "a barge that was burnished with gold" (Blinded By Love). If only the rest of the clue would fit...confused smiley ?

Edit: there are 2 g's in "garbage", my bad...

Boy, I love this game. Even though it's impossible for a Dutch speaker, I get really
happy from every clever attempt I read here.

Carry on! (Tough job for the weekend)

'Charger' simply refers to a horse in the context of this clue. But what type of horse...?

.....

Olly.

No, that's got to be wrong. It's too early in the morning.

...move like a stud (anagram of dust=rubbish), kicking the stall all night...

Well, studs and kicks and stalls relate to horses, sort of. Don't think that's it, though.

If we all are uncapable of finding the right answer than this one is simply to difficult, or Too Tough!

Maybe that's the answer we are looking for?

Too Tough...
