I was wondering if the corus "Can you feel it?" could be referencing another song, as she states in the first paragraph she is playing it on repeat. I don't think she's asking anyone, sounds to me she's listening to a song wile thinking of the person she's in love with.

ELO wrote some good tunes. So did ONJ. Combined they gave us this saccharine mess for an even more woeful movie. Tsk tsk

Late the previous night in a presumably inebriated moment of anger, the author broke up with his lady prematurely and perhaps even irrationally.

The following morning as a clearer, cooler head accompanied by a hangover prevails, the author is overcame by acute feelings of regret due to the hasty decision he made the night before.

As the day continues to leave him, the author realizes that while he doesn't have to be bothered by his lover's faults by being single, then again, there will always be times where he will not want to be alone - now is that time, and the only thing he wants and needs is her.
His phone finally rings. He hopes to hell and back that it is her. It is her. He accepts his second chance to love and accept her as she is once and for all just as she has done for him.
While no meaning has been stated, based on the lyrics it's clear it's about the Jacobite rising of 1745 and the Battle of Culloden. To put a long story as short as possible, the Jacobite rising was a succession in the line through which Jacobites believed that the crowns of England, Scotland, and Ireland should have descended. The Jacobite rising of 1745 was an attempt by Charles Edward Stuart to regain the British throne for his father, James Francis Edward Stuart.

The Battle of Culloden was the final confrontation of the Jacobite rising as on April 16, 1746, the Jacobite army of Charles Edward Stuart was decisively defeated by a British government force under Prince William Augustus.
In a bit more detail: The name Jacobitism was a political movement that supported the restoration of the senior line of the House of Stuart to the British throne and the name derives from the first name of James II of England. When James went into exile after the November 1688 Glorious Revolution, the Parliament of England decided that he had abandoned the English throne, and was declared he had "forfeited" the throne by the Scottish Convention. Jacobites argued that monarchs were appointed by God and could not be removed. While this was the most consistent point of contention, Jacobitism was a complex mix of ideas, many opposed by the Stuarts themselves. In Ireland, James supported tolerance for Catholicism but opposed other demands such as Irish autonomy and reversing the 17th-century land settlements. In 1745, clashes between Prince Charles and Scottish Jacobites over the 1707 Union and divine right were central to the internal conflicts that ended Jacobitism as a viable movement.
The song is pretty simple in the title, it being about a wild and excessive party where everyone is getting drunk and having a great time without any care for consequences. It's a chaotic and out-of-control gathering where everyone's indulging in extreme behaviors and excesses, such as drinking gasoline, with the overall meaning about how one has to live in the moment and have a good time, regardless of how crazy things may get.

In an interview with Biff Byford, he stated how they got to work with Elton John on this track. Stating: "We were in the studio at the same time and our producer knew him. We thought it would be cool if he would play on “Party ‘Til You Puke.,” ‘cause that’s not really his style of music (laughs). We thought it would be cool if he would play on something that wasn’t naturally his type of style. He was cool, actually. He came and played, and we were hanging out with his band, really. I think he was helicoptering in and out of the studio every couple of days on his way to royal weddings or whatever. We got to know the band more than him, really, but he was a nice enough guy, ya know?"
Yes, it’s a song about love, and a song about the sea, but more fundamentally it’s a song about hope. Beyond the joyous brass section, swinging bass, and upbeat drum track is merely a man who is alone. But he is not cynical or angry. He has a faith in things unseen, an earnest belief in the gold-speckled future that lies ahead. By the end, you can’t help but believe his prayers will be answered

One thing I think is overlooked is the ending of the song, where Billie is calling Millie and then questioningly says Millie giving me the impressikn he may actually be alone and the song takes place in Billy’s head. Billy may have also killed Millie.

The songs explore themes of survival, life & the passage of time throughout cynical lyrics.

“Night porter” was something Kurt cobain used to call lanegan back in the day. Because mark used to stay up all night delivering heroin to people for money, if I’m not mistaken. (Source: Sing Backwards And Weep, mark lanegans memoir, chapter name is “did you call for the night porter”)
