What were the statements referring to the song(to save scrolling back?)

@wolfgang59

Greater and grater

Sickly looking number

For Venda...my previous 2 homophones were 'son/sun' and 'born/borne'

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

Yeah I was sloppy. He got the answer.

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!!

@venda

Hi Venda

It's 1970s, and my clue above also figures in the first few lines

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

@venda

Ah, well. You are ok then. Not a Bob track!

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.
Anyway, if it's right what about relation,more distant

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?.
If so, I'm struggling at the moment
