Check and cheque?

Would be a pedant and argue that 'text' doesn't match with 'read'?
Anyway, 'hot thing' and 'relative'
Bonus point of you can tell me which song my two contributions come from....first 2 lines

Thanks for the song clues.
Before I think too much about it,can you tell me the decade?
Reason being if it's after the 1980's I'd be wasting my time!!

Ok.
I'll think about your homophone as well.
I must say though I'm not that familiar with Dylan after the 60's!!

Homophones need not be spelled diffently in which case they are homographs too.
