Exactly, I forgot Seeing In The Dark. Done.

Also added Metroland instrumental, just for the beauty of it. Look at these straight rows :)

I'll take Coma as my pseudonym lol! Yes, it took a while, especially to get all the lyrics right and in one place.
Interesting list mschaap. GET BUSY, HOOVES OF FIRE, OVERNIGHT SENSATION released officially as far as I know.

I laughed hard at MARKIN' TIME song :lol ON RAGLAN ROAD clearly is not MK's song.

Added approx. size of all MK lyrics (just ~200 kilobytes).

COSMIC SQUARE DANCE : I believe it's a title on a Chet Atkins record where MK appears, but I don't know if he wrote this track.
FLASHING FOR MONEY : a kind of disco-techno track (by "Deep dish vs dire straits") with a MFN sample
RELAX : a track by Deetah with a Why Worry sample
I LOVE LOVE YOU : a track by John Legend with a TOL sample
ONE OLD SHOE : unreleased track from Wag the Dog ?(I remember  when in 1997 or 98 I came on a university connected computer searching for MK news and I read on a site that MK was working on the WTD soundtrack and a song called One Old Shoe was mentioned).
The french titles (or refering to France) could be tracks left out from Metroland ?

Great lists foma and mschaap!  I did notice The Water is Wide on the last list.  That one isn't MK's either, it was first published in, I think, about 1906 - a bit before his time!   ;D  Cosmic Square Dance is listed on Chet Atkins album Stay Tuned, by Wikipedia, as being written by Atkins, MK, and Paul Yandell.

I have wondered about some of these songs, so it is great to finally see them all in a list.   :thumbsup

Seeing In The Dark

I'd say that seeing in the dark is not really an MK tune, but rather an adaptation of dark was the night, cold was the ground

On raglan road, The Lily of the west, Lost on the river, You win again, Wonderful world, Restless farewell, Baby let's play house, Blue moon of Kentucky, Seeing in the dark, Wild mountain thyme (A Shot At Glory soundtrack)

The song "Good Old Shoe" was performed by Willie Nelson in "Wag the Dog", but according to IMDB.com it was written by Edgar Winter.  The official soundtrack only contained songs written by MK.

I would only take in "real" songs. I even have problems with the ones in the unknown section - maybe they are just not more than a name only... same goes with the long latest list, only song titles that are saved, not sure if they really do exist.

The idea of a statistic section is really great! Really valuable and would make AMIT even more worth visiting..

And we had the sheet with the complete tour statistics from last year, all songs, played how often etc. That one could be added, too!
