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.

It's Just You and Me
The Pineapple Thief Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't let go,
Although I beg you so,
Its simple fate,
Why must we wait

I do not know,
Why hurts you so,
Its simple fate,

Now its too late

I can't live without it,
Its all we can be,
We're dead and we love it,
Its just you and me

Its all gone down,
Without a sound,
Can't let you down,
You're never coming round

Its you and me,
Its you and me,
Its you and me

Cant live without it,
Its all we can be,
We're dead and we love it,
Its just you and me

We can't live without it,
Its all we can be,
We're dead and we love it,
Its just you and me

We can't live without it,
Its all we can be,
We're dead and we love it,
Its just you and me

We can't live without it,
Its all we can be,
We're dead and we love it,
Its just you and me

We're dead and we love it,
Its just you and me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Pineapple Thief's song "It's You and Me" express a sense of resignation towards a relationship that has reached its end. The singer pleads with their former partner to move on, but it seems that both parties are unable to let go due to some sort of fate or destiny that's holding them back. The repetition of the phrase "We're dead and we love it" suggests that the relationship may have been toxic, yet both parties are still drawn to each other despite the pain it causes.

The line "Its all we can be" implies that the relationship was the most meaningful thing in their lives, even though it ultimately led to their demise. The phrase "Its just you and me" suggests that they may have isolated themselves from others in order to maintain this unhealthy bond. The use of the word "dead" throughout the song reinforces the idea of the relationship being lifeless and destructive.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of melancholy and resignation towards a doomed relationship. They capture the conflicting emotions that arise when we hold onto something that's causing us pain, even if we know that we should let go.

You can't let go,
Despite my pleading, you refuse to move on

Although I beg you so,
I have asked you numerous times to release yourself

Its simple fate,
Our destiny is predetermined

Why must we wait
Why do we delay what is inevitable?

I do not know,
I lack understanding

Why hurts you so,
Why do you feel pain?

Now its too late
We have missed our chance

I can't live without it,
I cannot survive without this relationship

Its all we can be,
This is everything we have

We're dead and we love it,
We are emotionally unresponsive to the world around us, and we enjoy it

Its just you and me
It is only you and I in this partnership
