'Poor Christmas', also known as 'Come On' / 'Eyes of Love', was recorded onto cassette from an unknown German radio station in October 1987, by 'René M.' (AKA 'DeDiniDevil' / 'MellieTerry').
The title and artist may have been announced at the time, but were not recorded. (René M later said they vaguely remembered the title as 'Poor Christmas' or 'Your Christmas', possibly by a band called something that sounded like 'The Face'.)
The song was originally posted to various forums and message boards from around 2001, including René M's personal website. In 2015, a snippet was posted to KZfaq by René R (AKA 'Osterhase8') and by 2020, interest had grown around the song and the search efforts increased. On November 25th, 2021, René R posted the full length digital transfer of the original tape recording to his KZfaq channel.
Unfortunately, the song has so far evaded identification. If you do recognise this cover, or the original linked below, please do get in contact.

Interpreted Lyrics:
[VERSE 1]
Hear the poor boy whisper
On wishes we don’t know
And see his little sister
She's trembling in the snow
They need your hands, your healing hands
Only to survive
They’ve suffered sights and endless nights
It's you throughout their lives
[CHORUS]
Come on, come on, come on
We need your eyes of love
Come on, come on, come on
[VERSE 2]
Know there's no illusion
Just fighting for a saint
They're living in confusion
The moment gets one weak
I need to hope; a reaching hope
It's working in their way
Forgotten faces, endless pavements
And that’s just Christmas day
[CHORUS]
[BREAKDOWN]
Ooh, soon they will realise
A bedroom feels so nice
Please come
A lovely wintery heart / And I’ll be with you soon
[CHORUS]
