Stretches out some tall stories (4)
I believe the answer is:
lies
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'stretches' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'some tall stories' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'out' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for lies that I've seen before include "Reclines" , "Wallows" , "Untruths" , "golfing situations" , "Is prone" .)
