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.

From Where You Are Standing
The Pineapple Thief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From where you're standing, from where I'm standing
You jumped far too soon,
You jumped far too soon
Is the difference showing, are you all knowing,
From where you're standing, from where I'm standing
You jumped far too soon
So hold your last breath,
Its all you have left,
So hold your last breath,
Its all you have left
So nothing matters, does nothing matter,
From where your standing, from where I'm standing,
You jumped too soon, you jumped
So hold your last breath,

The lyrics of The Pineapple Thief's "From Where You're Standing", appear to refer to a relationship that has ended, with one person feeling that the other ended things too quickly, and the other person questioning if anything matters at all. The lines "What is so wrong, am I taking too long" suggest that one person is trying to save the relationship, while the lines "From where you're standing, from where I'm standing, you jumped far too soon" suggest that the other person has already moved on.
The repeated line "So hold your last breath, it's all you have left" seems to indicate that the person who is still holding on to the relationship is being forced to let go and move on. Overall, the lyrics speak to the different perspectives that people can have in relationships, and the difficulty of reconciling those perspectives when one person is ready to move on and the other is still holding on.
