Songs in the key of Major Arcana

The ever delightful and inspirational featherynscale has been doing a Tarot Play List (in which she assigns a song to a particular tarot card), periodically over on her blog. Todays theme was the Major Arcana and it got me thinking about what songs I would personally give each one. I thought this would go pretty quickly, maybe 15-20 minutes tops, but the more I thought about an individual card the more I realized I was often missing the mark or responding to the obvious symbology rather than the esoteric meaning. Some were easy, The Fool came immediately. Some took a little more dileberation. Oddly enough my natural inclination was to go for the 'Reversed Card' song. Joy Divisions Isolation for The Hermit came to mind immediately.
Well anyway, a few hours later here's my list. I tried to include the lyrics where I could.
