I think I agree that I'm hearing "vent" instead of "bend". But I came here/to songmeanings.net specifically because the one other word I considered made some kind of sense other than "vent" IS "bend". Re-listening, I'm pretty sure I hear a "t" at the end of the word, so I'm going with "vent". Wish I could have found lyrics posted at Malkmus' site (I even searched its Board, for "lyric", and came up with nada. I've written a review (to be posted in about a week at GAAMC.org, click on Challenge Online), and I hate that I can't be sure of how a lyric I want to go reads precisely, but what else can I do?
By the way, the line seem more clever to me if it's written:
"I'm the 1-800-You-Can-Vent"
-- as if it's one of those phone numbers that have mnemonic letters.
Also, thanks for hearing "the "The's"" correctly -- I'd heard it as "the buzz", and I was clearly wrong.
Wish I could help with the last line, but all I'm fairly certain of is the end does sound like "in stee/al"
1-800-You-Can-Vent
1-800-968-226-8(368)
Refers the caller to 1-800-353-3300
Which, of course, refers the caller to a pay per minute adult conversation party line. Ah, yes, a fool and his money are soon parted from each other!

This one is to AT&T Easy Reach 800. Hearing it reminded me of Captain Krunch for some odd reason.

sorry, I didn't get the reason why you wrote about phone numbers, and when I glanced at your reply I too-quickly flagged it as spam, but now I see it's not.

Sounds like vent to my ears, and that makes way more sense than bend in the context of the lyric. To me at least.
