How to get all file paths from the clipboard

Title: How to get all file paths from the clipboard
If you have a list of files on the clipboard (e.g. CMD-C in the Finder) the command "the clipboard" produces a text string with one file name (not the full path) on each line.

The command:
the clipboard as «class furl»
produces the full path name -- but only of the first item.

The command
POSIX path of (the clipboard as «class furl»)
produces the full UNIX-style path -- but still only of the first item.

How can one get the complete list of full path names from the clipboard?
