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?

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

Ok .I'll ponder that for the song
For the homophone I can only think of wan and one but I'm not sure that works.

Homophones need not be spelled diffently in which case they are homographs too.
Here is one where the US English answer is a homograph, but not the British English.

Have I got this right?
I'm looking for a song that has the words son,sun,borne and born in the first couple of lines?.
