There are certain kinds of structure that require Not + inversion: for example, Not only did he win a place at Cambridge, but he also won a much-prized scholarship.
Compare with: Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. (Well known statement by Winston Churchill in the House of Commons on 20 August 1940 during the Battle of Britain).
Negative + inversion is generally only used in formal discourse.
There are simpler examples too:
'Not a lot was happening at the party so I came home early.'
'Not a lot of people know that.'
'Not many of my friends smoke.'
'Not much makes sense in her life at the moment.'
'Not every man is a liar.'

A general working rule is to remove the 'other person'. The sentence, 'You and I went to town' should make just as much sense when you remove the 'you': 'I went to town'. If you had said, 'You and me went to town' then you would be left with, 'Me went to town,' which is obviously wrong! What about this: 'He brought cake for you and me' 'He brought cake for me' which is correct. 'He brought cake for you and I' 'He brought cake for I'. is incorrect. Make sense?
