The band formed in February 2005 by Adam and played their first gig (a set of covers) at a MYB in Macclesfield two days later (the gig was actually booked before they had a drummer). They were received very well and all five guys decided to take things seriously (the idea had originally been just for the one show). A couple of months later and Drive Like I Do (or Me and You vs Them at the time) started to write original material and since then have recorded two 4 track demos, one in July at the Cutting Rooms in Manchester and the latest in Newcastle in October
Sex
Drive Like I Do Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
take your shoes off in the back of my van
Yeah my shirt looks so good
when it's just hanging off your back
And she said use your hands and my spare time
We've got one thing in common it's this tongue of mine
She said oh
It's only minutes before I drop you off
all we seem to do is talk about sex
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
I loved your friend when I saw his film
He's got a funny face but I like that cause he still looks cool
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
Now we're on the bed in my room and I'm about to fill his shoes
But you say no
You say no
Does he take care of you? Or could I easily fill his shoes
But you say no
You say no
And now we're just outside of town
And you're making your way down
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
And I'm not trying to stop you love
If we're gonna do anything we might as well just fuck
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
You've got your tongue pierced anyway
You're in your hightops any day
You're in your skinny jeans anyway
You and your fit friends anyway
I'd take them all out any day
They've all got back combs anyway
They all got boyfriends anyway.

They then continue driving, and he still thinks about having sex with her, but she eventually leaves him alone.
