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.

The Pineapple Thief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make me feel
Feel better
I felt better for a while
You make me
You make me feel
Feel better
Don't ask me what I see
You will never know
And I dream of you when I′m alone
Don't ask me what I see
You must never know
And I'm worried
I worry too much
I can′t bare it
No one can bare this much
And I worry
And I worry too much
I can′t bare it
And I dream of you when I'm alone
Don′t ask me what I see
You must never know
You must never know
You must never know
To dream of you when I'm alone
Don′t ask me what I see
You will never know
And you'll never know
You′ll never know
You'll never know
You will never know
The Pineapple Thief's "Sunday. Crash." is a song about a person who seeks solace in their lover but is struggling with inadequacies and fear, leading them to worry constantly. The repeated refrain "You make me feel better" is a reference to the comfort and emotional safety that a lover can bring. However, this positive sentiment is marred by the next line "I felt better for a while," hinting at the fleeting nature of happiness and the impermanence of contentment. This instability is further highlighted by the second verse where the singer dreams of their lover, but it's a secret dream as the singer says "Don't ask me what I see, you will never know."
The chorus of the song is full of self-doubt and anxiety, with the singer saying "And I worry, I worry too much, I can't bear it" which suggests that the lover has not completely eased their distress. The lyrics "You must never know" are repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that the singer has secrets they can never share with anyone, not even their lover. All in all, the song explores the fragility of human emotions and how difficult it is to find solace in a world where everything is inherently transient.
