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

Line by Line Meaning
Long ago
Reflecting on the past, thinking about how much time has passed
I remember every minute of the days
Nostalgic recollection of every experience from the past
Would go so fast we didn't notice
Time went by quickly without us realizing
We were here to stay, how did we find our way
Wondering how we made it this far, questioning how we got here
Far away
In a distant memory
We couldn't see the pictures, that we made today
Unable to fully appreciate the present moment and the memories being created
Its hanging on its own, but we are here to stay
Our memories and experiences exist independently, but we remain present in the world
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Emphasizing the current moment and the desire to escape from reality
We were here to stay, how did we find our way
Questioning the path we took to arrive at our current situation
Please lose yourself for a night
Encouragement to let go of worries and embrace the present
Let me take the weight away from you
Offering support and assistance to someone who is struggling
Please lose yourself for a night
Reiterating the need to let go and enjoy the moment
Let me take the weight away from you, tonight
Renewed offer to help and support someone for the night
Please lose yourself for a night
Final plea to live in the moment and release any anxieties
Let me take the weight away from you
Final offer to provide aid and support, emphasizing the desire to alleviate stress and anxiety
