Navigation Problem with Pages

I’m trying to change the navigation system on my blog’s theme. I can do it if I hard code it, but I cannot see how to get it to work properly with the wp_list_pages PHP function.

Basically, I need a way of being able to put the <span> tags around the text of the link…how can I go about doing this?

The top part (all the hard coded stuff would would, just need to change from the php to the actual path).

<div class="path">
		<div id="tabsC">
				<ul>
			<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/"><span>Home</span></a></li>
			<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/"><span>Sample Quotes</span></a></li>
			<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/"><span>Types of Cover</span></a></li>
			<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/"><span>FAQs</span></a></li>
			<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/"><span>Glossary</span></a></li>			

				<li><span><?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li=&before=–');				?>	<span/><li>
		</div>
</div>

Not sure i’ve explained myself very well, but hopefully someone will be able to help ?? Thanks in advance!
