Lie about cocaine score (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recline

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lie' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cocaine score' is the wordplay.
'cocaine' becomes 'rec' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'score' becomes 'line' (lining is a kind of scoring).
'rec'+'line'='RECLINE'

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for recline that I've seen before include "Be recumbent" , "Lie back and take it easy" , "Lie back and relax" , "Adopt horizontal or leaning position" , "Lounge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
