Because: World
The Night Before: 9 of Swords
Strawberry Fields: 7 of Cups
Helter Skelter: 5 of Pentacles
Hey Jude: 3 of Swords
Taxman: 4 of Pentacles
I've Just Seen a Face: Knight or Page of Cups
When I'm Sixty-Four: 10 of Pentacles
Carry That Weight: 10 of Wands

(Note: Above pip cards based on RWS meanings or card images)
