51st State is a song by New Model Army, which appeared on their 1986 album The Ghost Of Cain. It protests against what it claimed was the obedience of the United Kingdom under Margaret Thatcher to United States interests. Its lyrics were, however, written by Ashley Cartwright of The Shakes.
The track was released as a single, on EMI and reached number 71 in the UK Singles Chart, spending just two weeks in the listing. It was the band's fourth hit appearance in that chart.
