I've just listened to Friend for about the (4 millionth time) and I do hear "been" but I think it has to be like that to fit in properly because "bin" would be too short. I don't know if that makes any sense.
I'm sure there's some proper musical explanation for this.
I bet she says "bin" in her normal everyday speach - I bin watchin the telly instead of I have been watching the television for example.
