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.

How Did We Find Our Way
The Pineapple Thief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember every minute of the days
Would go so fast we didn't notice
We were here to stay, how did we find our way
Please lose yourself for a night
Let me take the weight away from you
Please lose yourself for a night
Far away
We couldn't see the pictures, that we made today
Its hanging on its own, but we are here to stay
How did we find our way
Please lose yourself for a night
Let me take the weight away from you
Please lose yourself for a night
Let me take the weight away from you, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
We were here to stay, how did we find our way
We were here to stay, how did we find our way
Please lose yourself for a night
Let me take the weight away from you
Please lose yourself for a night
Let me take the weight away from you
Please lose yourself for a night
Let me take the weight away from you
Please lose yourself for a night
Let me take the weight away
The Pineapple Thief's song "How Did We Find Our Way" is a contemplative and introspective piece that reflects on the passage of time and the human experience. The lyrics are rich with imagery and emotion, evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing. The opening lines, "Long ago, I remember every minute of the days/Would go so fast, we didn't notice/We were here to stay, how did we find our way," suggests a wistful longing for the past and the inevitability of change. The singer reflects on the passage of time and how it's easy to lose sight of the present moment when we're preoccupied with the past or the future.
The chorus repetition of "Please lose yourself for a night/Let me take the weight away from you" offers a respite from the heaviness of life, suggesting that sometimes we need to let go and surrender ourselves to the present moment. It's a reminder to take the time to enjoy life and savor the moments, regardless of how fleeting they may be. The closing lines, "We were here to stay, how did we find our way/Please lose yourself for a night/Let me take the weight away from you" suggests that while life may be uncertain and unpredictable, we can still find moments of peace and tranquility if we're willing to let go and embrace the present moment.

Long ago
Reflecting on a distant past
I remember every minute of the days
Recalling the memories of each day
Would go so fast we didn't notice
Time passed quickly without us realizing it
We were here to stay, how did we find our way
Wondering how we managed to stay on our path
Please lose yourself for a night
Let go of your worries and surrender for a moment
Let me take the weight away from you
Allow me to alleviate your burdens
Far away
Looking back to a distant time
We couldn't see the pictures, that we made today
Unaware of the significance of our actions
Its hanging on its own, but we are here to stay
Our legacy endures despite our unawareness
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Emphasizing the present moment
We were here to stay, how did we find our way
Recalling our journey and questioning our path
