Live

Grey Daze began to play "Anything, Anything" live before the depature of Jonathan Krause.

According to several Grey Daze members and people who worked with the band, "Anything, Anything" was the biggest crowd pleaser. It was also one of Sean Dowdell's favorite songs to play live.

Kerry Rose, their manager, mentioned one concert in particular which was memorable for him: "We did a small tour into Southern California, including a fantastic show at the Whiskey a Go Go on the Sunset Strip.[...] It's a fantastic - very famous venue, and they have a killer sound system. There was 3-400 people at the show and they really got into the band. When they did "Anything, Anything", the place went nuts. The sound guy thought it was better than the original version. I just remember it being a particularly good show."

The cover was also performed live after Chester Bennington and Mace Byers were replaced by Jodi Wendt and Dave Sardegna.

When Sean and Chester formed Bucket Of Weenies in 2005, the song became part of their setlists and was performed until 2006.

Lyrics

Okay, what is it tonight?
Please just tell me what the hell is wrong
Do you wanna eat, do you wanna sleep, do you wanna shout?
Just settle down, settle down, settle down

Well I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills
I'll give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills
I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see
Cause you married me, married me, married me

I'm so sick of you tonight
You never stay awake when I get home
Is something wrong with me? Is something wrong with you?
I really wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew

Well I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills
I'll give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills
And I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see
Cause you married me, married me, married me
Yeah

When I was young I learned a game,
That love and happiness were the same,
And now I'm older and I don't play,
I found out the hardest way

I got wasted, she got mad, called me names and she called her dad,
He got crazy and I did too, wondered what I did to you.

Well I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills
I'll give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills
And I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see
I'll do anything, anything, anything
Anything, anything, anything
Anything
Anything
Anything, hey, yeah
