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

The lyrics of "The Go" by Drive Like I Do depict a sense of camaraderie and the importance of friendship in various situations. The song begins with the idea that if you find yourself in a fight and the police are called, it's comforting to know that your friends are there to support you. The phrase "gotta love it" suggests the joy and gratitude that comes with having your friends around in both good and challenging times. The mention of George's drive and the jag getting scratched alludes to specific situations where friends can come together and provide comfort. It implies that material possessions are less important than the emotional support of friends.
The second verse introduces a new setting, Spain's Costa Del Sol. It suggests that even if you move away, as long as you have your friends by your side, you can find happiness and a sense of belonging. The repetition of "costa Del Sol Loco" emphasizes the carefree and wild nature of their adventures together.
The lyrics then shift to a situation where someone is feeling sick in a taxi and wants to go home. Again, the presence of friends makes this experience more bearable and reinforces the idea that they will be there to support you no matter what.
In the final lines, the lyrics express a commitment to their friendship. They are willing to go to great lengths, even storming a palace, to show their support and care for each other. The repetition of "Guys like that" suggests that there are many individuals who can relate to this sentiment, emphasizing the universality of friendship and the love that comes with it.
Overall, "The Go" is a celebration of the bond between friends, highlighting their importance and the comfort they provide in different situations.
