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.

Warm Seas
The Pineapple Thief Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found it
Deserted
My army
Deserted
And I deserved it so much

And I will settle down
With what you've got

I'll settle down
What ever you give me

I'll build it
What I owe you
Imprisoned
I owe you
And you deserve it so much

And I will give you

Clear, warm seas
And golden sand
For you and I

And a cast blue sky
Fading into stars
For you and I
For you and I

And I will give you

Clear, warm seas
And golden sand
For you and I

And a cast blue sky
Fading into stars

For you and I
For you and I

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Pineapple Thief's song Warm Seas seems to be about someone who may have messed up in their life and is trying to make amends. The repetition of the word "deserted" suggests that the person has lost something important to them, perhaps even their own sense of purpose. They feel that they deserve to have lost it and are willing to settle down with what they have left. The lines "And I will settle down/With what you've got/I'll settle down/Whatever you give me" all hint at a sense of resignation and acceptance of whatever life throws their way.

The mention of owing someone and being imprisoned may suggest that the person has actually caused hurt to someone. Perhaps feeling guilty, they promise to make it up to them by giving them something beautiful. The repeated lines "And I will give you/Clear, warm seas/And golden sand/For you and I/And a cast blue sky/Fading into stars" suggest that the person wants to offer this beautiful location as a way to make things right. It can be inferred that the person they are talking to is someone they care deeply for, as they want to share this beautiful place with them.

Overall, the lyrics seem to be about someone who has gone through a tough time, and is trying to make amends. They may feel guilty about something they have done, and want to offer a beautiful gift of clear warm seas, golden sand, and a cast blue sky fading into stars to the person they care for as a way to ask for forgiveness.
