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 World I Always Dreamed Of
The Pineapple Thief Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm waiting for
What am I waiting for?
There's something more
There's something more?
And what you said,
I think about what you said,
For evermore, evermore

And there's nothing else I can do
So I'm shouting this out for you
No there's nothing else I can do
So I'm shouting this out for you
And I know you'll never hear me
And I know there never will be
The world I always dreamed of
The world in which you are a part

Keep on going
We keep on going
Relentlessly
Relentlessly
And glowing
We keep on glowing
Hopelessly
Hopelessly

And there's nothing else I can do
So I'm shouting this out for you
No there's nothing else I can do
So I'm shouting this out for you
And I know you'll never hear me
And I know there never will be

The world I always dreamed of
The world in which you are a part.

Overall Meaning

The Pineapple Thief's song The World I Always Dreamed Of, seems to be about a yearning for something more out of life. The lyrics suggest that the singer is waiting for something, but doesn't quite know what it is that they're waiting for. They reflect on something someone said to them, acknowledging that it has stayed with them "for evermore, evermore". The repetition of "there's something more", reinforces the idea that there's more to life than what we currently have.

The next section of the song suggests that the singer is not alone in their search for something more. They acknowledge that "we keep on going" and "we keep on glowing", despite not knowing exactly what it is we're hoping for. The line "hopelessly" suggests a recognition that the search might be futile, but we keep going anyway.

The final section of the song is somewhat melancholic, with the singer acknowledging that even though they're shouting out for someone, that person will never hear them. The final line, "the world in which you are a part" suggests that the person they're calling out to is not with them anymore, and that the dream they had of a better world can never come true without that person.
