Initially a solo outlet for Bruce’s music the first album, Abducting the Unicorn, was released on Cyclops Records in May 1999. The critical plaudits and small but fanatical fan base that grew around the release was enough to convince Bruce that perhaps TPT was here to stay and he returned to the Dining Room studios to work on the second TPT album, 137.
Following the reaction to its release in the spring of 2002 and the growing demand from fans for live shows, Bruce felt the need to expand TPT to a full band. The band consisted of his close musical friends – former university band mate Jon Sykes on bass, Wayne Higgins on guitars, Matt O'Leary on keyboards and Keith Harrison on drums. Wayne and Matt have since left but Steve Kitch (who co-produced and mixed the albums since 10 Stories Down) joined to replace Matt and play the keyboards.
The third album, Variations On A Dream (2004) gave TPT a further boost, reaching out to yet more people all over the world. Three albums followed, 10 Stories Down (2005), Little Man (2006), and limited the run What We Have Sown (2007) which featured re-worked un-released tracks. This was to prove to be the last album released via Cyclops before the band signed to Kscope and released Tightly Unwound. This was followed by The Dawn Raids EPs and 3000 Days, a 2CD re-mixed and re-mastered collection of songs from their ten year history so far.
The band returned in May 2010 with their new album Someone Here Is Missing. This album marked a significant step forward in the maturity of the band’s song writing and earned the band critical acclaim. In April 2011 the Thief were privileged to be invited to cover Pink Floyd's 'Money' by Mojo magazine for their cover CD tribute to the Dark Side of the Moon.
The band will release a new studio album in September 2012.

Break It All
The Pineapple Thief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What version of yourself have you been listening to?
You will find your so-called love?
You will find your so-called?
You don't get to break it all
And break the rest with someone else
Got hold of you
What's the use of looking back?
And all that we've been through?
You will find your so-called love?
You will find your so-called...
You don't get to break it all
And break the rest with someone else
Where did you expect you will find the cure?
What version of yourself will die before..
You will find your so-called love?
You will find your so-called
The lyrics of "Break It All" by The Pineapple Thief seem to explore themes of love, self-discovery, and the consequences of one's actions. In the first verse, the singer expresses confusion and uncertainty in their communication with someone else. They question which version of themselves the other person has been paying attention to and whether they will truly find the love they seek.
The chorus, "You don't get to break it all, and break the rest with someone else," suggests that the person being addressed cannot destroy everything they have built and move on with someone new without facing consequences. There is a sense of betrayal and a plea for them to take responsibility for the damage they have caused.
The second verse reflects on a seemingly small action that has had a significant impact on the individual. The singer questions the usefulness of dwelling on the past and all that they have experienced together. It implies that the person they are addressing has allowed a trivial act to consume their thoughts and overshadow their shared history.
The repetition of "You will find your so-called love" in both the verses and the chorus indicates a degree of skepticism towards the other person's search for love. The use of "so-called" suggests that the singer questions the authenticity or sincerity of their search. This could suggest that the person being addressed is seeking something superficial or temporary, rather than a genuine connection.
The final lines of the lyrics, "Where did you expect you will find the cure? What version of yourself will die before..." seem to convey a sense of enlightenment or realization. The singer questions the person's expectations and wonders which version of themselves they will need to let go of before they can find a resolution or healing. It suggests that in order to find love or inner peace, they need to confront their own insecurities and evolve as an individual.
Overall, the lyrics of "Break It All" delve into the complexities of relationships, self-discovery, and the need to take responsibility for one's actions. It raises questions about the authenticity of love and the consequences of breaking trust.

You don't get to break it all

And devastate the remaining fragments of our connection with another individual
Such a simple act
Just a basic action
Got hold of you
Managed to control or influence you

Stop giving all the credit to Gavin. He is one of the best prog drummers, we all know that, but come on guys! The band has been always excellent and underrated.
Janssen Reyes
Completely agreed with you.!
Sarvesh Karthic
@KOoT3 hey u have fear of the blank planet in your profile pic so you shouldnt be saying this. also you cannot deny a lot of fans who've come to pineapple thief are because of Gavin and some from porcupine tree. The band is good even without Gavin true, but Gavin is just the icing on the cake and he is one of the best drummers in prog for a reason. U can never get enough of him. But to each their own. Pineapple thief is great but i personally prefer them more with Gavin

But his drum pulses purple
