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.

Someone Pull Me Out
The Pineapple Thief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm still sat here
Waiting
One more my love
One more and I'll be
Up there
And you know
Which step is killing me
Someone pull me out of here
Someone pull me out
I don't know why
I'm still down here
Fading
Keep it coming,
I'll keep it coming
To Kill me
And you know
You know
Which step is killing me
Someone pull me out of here
Someone pull me out
Don't close your eyes
Don't turn away
I'll reach for you
I don't want another way
Someone pull me out of here
Someone pull me out
I don't know why
I'm still sat here
Waiting
The Pineapple Thief's song "Someone Pull Me Out" is a poignant and emotional expression of feelings of loneliness and desperation. The lyrics describe a person who feels trapped and stuck in their current situation, waiting for someone to rescue them. They feel as though they are fading away and that they need someone to help them escape. They are reaching out to someone for help, but it seems like nobody is listening. The chorus emphasizes the idea of being trapped, with the phrase "Someone pull me out of here" repeated several times throughout the song.
The second verse adds to the first, stating that despite the person's best efforts to keep going, they are still struggling and feel like they are being killed by their circumstances. The use of the phrase "Keep it coming, I'll keep it coming to kill me" underscores the idea that the person is trapped in a vicious cycle that is leading to their demise. They are not sure why they are still there or why they are still waiting, but they know they need to get out.
The final bridge of the song brings a sense of hope, as the person reaches out for the help they so desperately need. They implore the listener not to turn away and to reach out to them, promising that they don't want another way. The repetition of the phrase "Someone pull me out of here" highlights the urgency of the situation and underscores the idea that the person needs someone to rescue them from their trapped state.
